XIX Heidelberg Physics Graduate Days

08.10. - 12.10.2007
at the department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Heidelberg.
Participants from other universities are very welcome!

Welcome to the Physics Graduate Days. The courses are open for advanced students, in particular those working on their Diploma and Ph.D. thesis. Our aim is to broaden the physics knowledge as well as to teach specialized techniques.

The Graduate Days take place for the 19th time this fall!

The courses are organized as parallel block lectures, with morning lectures from 9:30 to 12:30 and afternoon lectures from 14:00 to 17:00 including coffee breaks. There is also a free lunch each day included in your registration. Note that each course runs every day for five days either in a morning or afternoon slot.
