Doctoral school on materials chemistry and physics

(13-11-2023) The department of Solid State Sciences jointly organizes a doctoral schools specialist course in the form of a series of lectures on the topic of materials in chemistry and physics.

These lectures, jointly organized between the department of solid state sciences and the department of chemistry will give our students the chance to explore the broad and interdisciplinary field in which our research is situated.

 All lectures are also free to attend by other interested staff, and we believe that attending them and contributing to the discussions afterwards will also help to strengthen the ties between the  researchers within and between our departments.

These lectures count as a doctoral schools specialist course for all PhD students and will be given between October 2022 and June 2023.
