We are restarting the Colloquium series within GPC (Gothenburg Physics Centre) after the pandemic break, but in a different format and place – the Faculty at Wijkanders.
Local and non-local speakers will bring you new insights from the many facets of Physics, and there will be ample possibilities to mingle with your colleagues afterwards. The purpose of the GPC lectures is knowledge sharing and real life community building. Therefore we will not provide any zoom link to the lecture. We instead welcome you all to attend in person!
