Leiden Institute of Physics
LION Science Day
Every year, the Leiden Institute of Physics (LION) organises the Science Day. The goal is to highlight the newest research at LION, to socialise, and to welcome first year master students and new PhD candidates to our institute.
The next edition of the LION Science Day takes place on Tuesday 10 September. We will organise an in-person event at the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden. There will be talks about research, and ample time to wander amongst exotic plants and discuss the challenges and joy of doing physics. Coffee, tea and lunch will be provided. The day will end with drinks for PhD and Master students.
For the planning, we ask you to register by Monday September 4 at this link. All members of the LION community are also welcome. We will have special ‘advice sessions’ for Master students and first year PhD’s.
