Description
The traditional Nordita one-week master class in physics for students from the Nordic and Baltic countries will be organized this year in Danhostel Ishøj Strand; Nordisk Lejrskole & Kursuscenter in Ishøj Strand, just south of Copenhagen, Denmark. The school aims at introducing frontier areas of physics research by world top scientists at a level understandable for masters students, and also to stimulate further studies. It gives a unique opportunity for students to learn the newest most exciting developments in theoretical physics and to work together with other Nordic/Baltic students.
The following five series of lectures, each of four hours, will be given. The lectures will be accompanied by group exercises and discussion sessions.
- Complex Systems - Predrag Cvitanovic, Georgia Tech
- Gravitation and Cosmology - Fawad Hassan, Stockholm University
- Stellar Physics - Bengt Gustafsson, Uppsala University
- Quantum computing in condensed matter systems - Jason Kestner, UMBC
- Amplitudes in high-energy physics - Henrik Johansson, Nordita and Uppsala University
Who may apply?
Masters students who study in the Nordic or Baltic region. You must have a background of three or more years of university studies in physics/mathematics, or corresponding studies at a technical university, but you should not be a graduate student. We encourage female students to apply.
How to apply?
Applications must be submitted through the online application form. An application must include a short CV which includes a list of finished courses in physics and mathematics with your marks for each course.
