There one can also find preliminary version of the program. We plan to accommodate registered participants at the student hostel at our expense. (Information on the hostel is also accessible at the web site of the School.) We also plan to provide support for student travel for eligible participants. We will notify all applicants with regard to their application status shortly after March 24th deadline.

The Young German Physical Society (jDPG) organizes a poster session on internships and studies in foreign countries at the Spring Meeting of the DPG in Dresden (from 4 to 8 March 2013). You’re warmly invited to present your home university, possible exchange programs, research areas and projects for foreign students. The Spring Meeting in Dresden has a focus on Hadronic, Nuclear and Particle Physics, but there are also many interdisciplinary events.

Three University Student Fellowships – of 2,000 euros each – are available from the European Physical Society [EPS] in 2012. The EPS fellowships are given to promising young physics students in recognition of academic excellence. Applicants should be enrolled, at a European institution, in a physics – or related – degree course at the Masters level (second cycle: post-Bachelor, pre-PhD), or equivalent. Third cycle students and previous EPS fellowship recipients are not eligible. Successful applicants will spend a period of at least three months at a university of their choice, in a different European country to where they are enrolled.

The deadline for applications is 15 May 2012.

For more information on the fellowships, and how to apply, please visit the European Physical Society website.
