Meetings at LIMS for young theorists
Dates shown below
The London Institute hosts talks and drinks for physics and mathematics PhD students, postdocs and others from surrounding universities.
Young researchers from different universities and research centres rarely get to meet and interact with each other. To solve this problem, the London Institute has teamed up with LonTI, BMUCO and LAC to host regular meetings for research students, postdocs and others in theoretical physics and mathematics.
At each event, there is a guest lecture from a specialist, followed by drinks and snacks on site. The meetings are held in Tyndall’s Parlour at the London Institute, on the second floor of the Royal Institution.
These meetings serve three purposes. First, they are an opportunity for like-minded theorists to get to know each other, cutting across universities and disciplines. Second, the meetings are a way for scientists at the London Institute to meet and cultivate up-and-coming talent. Third, speakers can address people from multiple universities at once, rather than having to visit each one separately.
