PhD Day 2021

The DRSTP PhD Student Council is organizing the PhD day: the annual meeting organized by and for the younger researchers in the Research School.
During this 13th edition of the PhD Day you will hear inspiring talks from PhD students in several areas of theoretical physics and beyond. Just like previous editions, the PhD Day is the right moment to meet old friends and make new ones, to share the joys and pains of being a scientist.
Despite the recent relaxation of measures, we are bound to a maximum of 75 persons because of corona-related restrictions. If you want to participate, please sign up as soon as possible! In case the number of participants exceeds 75, we will select participants on first-come-first-serve basis.
