Cross-Collserola PhD Meeting in Astrophysics, Cosmology and Particles 2023
What about it?
Predoctoral researchers from IFAE, ICE and ICCUB are meeting on October 6th. This will be an informal gathering where we will get to know each other better, try to find common lines of research and just enjoying the discussions! Furthermore, during the afternoon we will also discuss topics beyond Physics.
The meeting is made possible by the collaboration of the three institutes: Institut de Ciències de l'Espai (ICE), Institut de Física d'Altes Energies (IFAE) and Institut de Ciències del Cosmos (ICCUB). Every research topic is welcome (even if your PhD is outside of Astro/Cosmo/Particles!), and only PhDs will be there :)
When and where?
The first Cross-Collserola PhD Meeting will be held October 6th at the Institut de Ciències del Cosmos (ICCUB), at the Facultat de Física of UB.
How do I do it?
If you plan to come to the meeting, please first register on the "Registration" tab. You have time until September 24th. Registration includes only inscriptions and coffee breaks.
Furthermore, we strongly recommend you to submit a talk and/or a poster. To do so, use the "Call for abstracts" tab to send an abstract for a talk/poster before September 17th. All posters will be accepted, and you will receive a mail if your talk has been accepted before September 24th.
