PHYSICS MATTERS — On-line Colloquium Series

The APS/FIP PHYSICS MATTERS series is open to the public. By targeting developing communities, like the SESAME light source, our colloquium aims to enhance access to knowledge exchange ranging from particle accelerators and scientific cases, to education and global organizations transcending frontiers.

Each session consists of a 20- or 40-minute presentation by the invited speaker, followed by a Q&A session, where participants can ask questions either in writing or live.
