The VDSP Science Day is organized by PhD students of the Vienna Doctoral School in Physics (VDSP) and marks the kick-off to a new series of events in which we invite experts from various fields in Physics to introduce their work and to take part in a discussion with our students and faculty members.
In order to strengthen intradisciplinary exchange, we dedicate the event to presentations by external guest speakers who complement research strands of our own students. The first edition of the VDSP Science Day will feature research in environmental physics, quantum physics and materials science.
Preceding the talks by the invited speakers, VDSP students will introduce the foundations of the field and their own work to acquaint the audience with the presented research topic and to set the framework for the presentations by the guest speakers.
