WELCOME TO THE MOST IMPORTANT SOCIO-ACADEMIC EVENT OF THE YEAR!

The Nordita Day is an opportunity to get to know your fellow Norditians. It will be a one day event, Friday, 20th November 2015, with a second day being optional for those who wish to join some of us for sports.

SCHEDULE

9.00-9.45 BREAKFAST

The meeting will start with a light breakfast at Nordita East

10.45-18.00 TALKS

Everybody is encouraged to give a short talk (20 min including questions and discussion) about their current research. The talk should be understandable for everybody in the audience. There will be no fixed schedule for the talks and the speakers will be randomly selected during the day. There will be a break for lunch around noon, and few coffee breaks during the day.

18.00-late DINNER

From 6 PM onwards we will have dinner with some music.
