Physics Colloquium
Tuesday, 16:30
HS C
Students and Academic Staff
We invite you to our colloquium, which provides insights into various fields of physics and presents current research trends. The colloquium offers not only a platform for professional exchange but also opportunities for networking within the Innsbruck Physics Research Center.
Occasionally, the colloquium is preceded by a pre-talk from the doctoral program Atoms, Light, and Molecules (DK ALM).
Organizers: Katrin Erath-Dulitz, Hanns-Christoph Nägerl, Francine Marleau
