The Physics Erasmus Summer School (E3F)
UNVEILING THE SECRETS OF MATTER AND LIGHT
will be held from 9 to 13 September 2024 at the Faculty of Physics of the Universitat de València.
The School is aimed at undergraduate students of Physics and other STEM degrees. The School will offer lectures, round tables, and various leisure and educational activities in an inclusive and participatory environment. In this edition, the School's programme will include invited lectures in the fields of Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics, and Optics, Optometry and Vision science as well as contributions on other topics in Physics or related to it. There will also be time for participants to present their own contributions. Presentations will be given in English.
Besides its scientific content, the School offers a unique oportunity to know the Faculty of Physics of the University of Valencia as a potential Erasmus destination, to discover the city of Valencia, and to establish contacts with Physics students from various European universities.
The School is organized as an Erasmus+ BIP (Blended Intensive Programme). As such, undergraduate students from the participating universities (University of Jyväskylä, Johannes Gutenberg University-Mainz, University of Palermo, University of Valencia, University of Latvia) and other Erasmus+ institutions can get 3 ECTS by fullfilling the corresponding assesment criteria.
