Physics Student Seminar Series
This is a seminar series organised by students for students and the public! Students invite experts to talk about modern topics in a wide range of physics areas. It is supported by the Institute of Physics (IOP), which is the professional body of physicists in the UK, via their IOP Merseyside branch, who kindly provide free coffee, tea and cookies for attendees. This is part of the extracurricular activities in the BSc Physics programme of the University of Chester. Attendance is free for all, and seminars are hosted either in-person, or online. Please book your place using the appropriate box below; the organisers will forward you the meeting details closer to the date of the event.
