Physics Colloquium
Welcome to the page of the Physics Colloquium of the Faculty of Physics. Our Colloquium takes place weekly during the lecture periods of the respective semester. It offers a broad spectrum of talks of renowned experts from all fields of physics. In addition, inaugural lectures of new colleagues, presentation of habilitation projects and other festive events of the Faculty of Physics take place in the Physics Colloquium.
The Physics Colloquium takes place every Tuesday during the lecture weeks of the semester in the 5th double period (starting 2:50 pm) in person and is additionally streamed online. Default site for the Physics Colloquium is the lecture hall REC C 213. Deviations related to time and place will be announced in the program below. Information to the different events (incl. online access) will be posted here, as soon as they are available. Please check back regularly.
Information for students: The certification of participation in the Phyics Colloquium will be issued in either of the two ways: In-presence participation: Signature by the host of the event.
