General Outline
The Danish Physical Society arranges the first Common Meeting of the Nordic Physical Societies in collaboration with the Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish Physical Society.
The Nordic Meeting of the Physical Societies consists of plenary lectures, parallel topical sessions as well as poster sessions in astrophysics, atomic & molecular and optical physics (AMO), bio- and medical physics, condensed matter physics, educational physics, nanophysics and nanomaterials, nuclear and elementary particle physics, plasma physics. During the meeting posters and new products will exhibited. Finally the general assembly of the Danish Physical Society takes place after the meeting at 13.30 on Thursday, 18 June.
The meeting is a good opportunity for people working in physics and related fields to present their work, meet old and new colleagues and join both formal and informal discussions about all aspects of physics in Nordic countries (and elsewhere of course;-)
Especially students and young researchers are encouraged to attend and present their work.
Time and Place
The Nordic meeting starts on Tuesday, 16 June 12:30 and ends on Thursday, 18 June 13:00.
Both the Nordic meeting of the Danish Physical Society and Women in Physics are held at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in Lyngby, 10 km north of the center of Copenhagen.
More information on DTU
The Nordic meeting takes place in building 116 and the meeting of Women in Physics in building 210, room 168.
