Day 1:

"Physics Meets Industry"

Bringing together industry and academia

Day 1 « Physics meets Industry » * is a meeting that addresses PhD students and PostDocs throughout Europe with the aim to:
- introduce students to exciting research opportunities available in big industries, SMEs and start-ups;
- enhance the physics doctoral degree to the industrial sector, offering a pool of talented young graduates in physics;

- encourage a dialogue between young graduates, enterprise and academic research institutions to close the gap between industry and academia.
- A Trade Fair for meeting enterprises, R&D experts, PhDs and postdocs

The programme of “ Physics Meets Industry”  will cover a broad spectrum of scientific themes in various formats:
- From conferences and round tables (Energy and sustainability, accelerators, high-energy particle physics, nuclear physics, quantum technologies and photonics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, biophysics, technological sequencing of proteins, pandemic, cancer treatments),
- Interactive workshops on accelerators, particle and nuclear physics, hands-on sessions to test a quantum computer or measurements at the nano-scale,
- A poster session especially prepared for young researchers working in industry or academia,
- A privileged « meeting place » for young researchers to exchange with representatives from European companies and other participants,
