Quantum Book Club

A series of events to learn about the scientists who were the main contributors to the development of quantum mechanics through reading and discussing Thirty Years that Shook Physics: The Story of Quantum Theory by George Gamow. The club meets on Thursdays (March 6, 20, and 27 and April 3, 10, 17, and 24).

Quantum Think Tank Strasbourg

The aim of the Quantum Think Thank Strasbourg (QTTS) is to bring together a community of scientists, historians, and philosophers from the Strasbourg area, including professional researchers and students, who are interested in the foundations of quantum physics. Since its inception at the beginning of the 20th century, quantum physics has been the focus of much debate about its interpretation. In the current and active context of quantum technologies, it therefore seems essential to encourage reflection on the fundamental ideas, origins, and implications of quantum physics. QTTS organises lectures given by quantum experts, usually one by a quantum physicist and another by a historian or philosopher of science, with a view to encouraging cross-field debates and fostering new interdisciplinary research.

International Masterclass in Particle Physics – Proton Therapy MC in Lisboa

Outreach activity in particle physics, in which high-school students go to a University or Institute to learn about particle physics and particle therapies, prepare treatment plans with [educational] MatRad, and participate in an international video conference moderated by scientists at GSI or CNAO or other Cancer Therapy Research Centres. It is integrated with the IPPOG’s International Masterclasses in Particle Physics.
