The International Institute of Physics
International school and workshop
The aim of the meeting is to allow young researchers (students and
postdocs) to be exposed to pedagogical lectures at the cutting edge of the
field, by senior physicists from abroad and from Brazil, and provide the
appropriate environment for scientific collaboration. Besides the courses
and tutorials, topical seminars will be organized for the benefit of all
participants allowing for wider discussion sessions among experts of the
fields. The expected number of participants should not exceed 60.
Applications should be sent before March 14th 2012. The IIP will

application form.
Applicants from Sao Paulo wishing to apply for travel expenses should also mention their requirements.
