DAY 1 (25 March 2024): Bringing together industry and academia

Day 1 – “Physics Meets Industry“ – aims to:
- introduce students to exciting research opportunities available in large 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.

The programme of “ Physics Meets Industry” will cover a broad spectrum of scientific themes in various formats: From conferences and round tables to a privileged « meeting place » for young researchers to exchange with representatives from companies and other participants.
