The first Workshop of the Physics and Materials Science Research Unit has the following goals:
- To increase awareness about the focus and research interests of each of the PHYMS groups.
- To foster unity within the Research Unit and encourage interdisciplinary collaborations.
The talks will be given by various group members, who will introduce their group’s activities and fields of expertise, followed by Q&A and discussion rounds.
The workshop is open to bachelor’s and master’s students as well.
Lunch, coffee breaks and dinner will be provided.
