Friday Physics Colloquia
The Friday Physics Colloquia at the Department of Physics are open to all. An important goal for the colloquia is to be a meeting place between faculty and students to learn about interesting developments in physics.
Undergraduate students are especially encouraged to attend. Speakers are asked to keep the talks at a level targeting a master student in physics.
