Women in Physics – Ireland
The School of Mathematics and Physics at Queens University Belfast and IoPI are inviting your female students to participate in the first “Women in Physics – Ireland” event on the 19th of March 2014. Please email mp.outreach@qub.ac.uk by Friday 13th of December indicating the number of required places, which will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
The event is focused on promoting Physics among young women in Ireland. We are inviting women at various career stages working in Physics areas (both from academia and industry) to participate in this event, offering a friendly atmosphere that will provide all participants with the opportunity of interacting.
The event will include A-level, undergraduate, master and PhD students, invited speakers, as well as guests from other institutions and industry. It will start with registration at 9.30 am at the Whitla Hall (QUB) and will finish by 4.30 pm, with the option to leave at 2.30 pm if needed. The day will include talks, poster session with prices and a Science Fair (sponsored by Seagate) with both demonstrations and hands-on experiments for everyone to enjoy (see attached information). Among the invited speakers we will have Prof. Jocelyn Bell Burnell (discoverer of the first radio pulsars).
