Registration open DRSTP PhD school 2025

The registration for the DRSTP PhD school 2025 (12 – 16 May) is now open! 

Every year the DRSTP used to organize the THEP and SPTCM PhD school separately. Since 2024 these two schools are combined in one week. This PhD school will last five days, and will feature three plenary and four parallel lectures for all theoretical-physics students covering all theoretical physics in the Netherlands from the smallest to largest scale. Besides the lectures there will be plenty of time to socialize and network.

New director DRSTP

In September 2024, professor Thomas Grimm was appointed as the new director of the DRSTP. Thomas works at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Utrecht University and investigates quantum field theories and string theories utilizing advanced mathematical techniques from geometry. Since joining Utrecht University in 2017, he has played an active role in shaping the educational program, serving as the education director for the physics Master’s and PhD program over the past three years.

Thomas succeeds Professor Rembert Duine, who has now assumed the role of director at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Utrecht University. Rembert’s leadership made a lasting impact on the DRSTP by expanding its educational programs and fostering new collaborations. With Thomas stepping into this role, the DRSTP aims to further expand its role as a PhD school that offers high-quality education and serves as a dynamic platform for theoretical physicists throughout the Netherlands, building on the momentum established under his predecessor.
