This spring, physics will once again bring us together. Continuing a longstanding tradition dating back to 1966, students from University of Wroclaw Faculty of Physics and Astronomy are pleased to organize The Winter Kindergarten of Theoretical Physics (WKoTP). Get ready to embark on an exhilarating week filled with presentations, poster sessions, and guest lectures. As before, WKoTP will take place in the picturesque Karpacz, nestled in the heart of the Karkonosze National Park. The location is not chosen arbitrarily, as the charming surroundings will provide opportunities for relaxation amidst the intellectual exertion. The Kindergarten is alogsite with the renowned scientific conference, the Winter School of Theoretical Physics, which will also be held in Karpacz during these days.
The Kindergarten is targeted towards undergraduate and master students who are eager to share their knowledge with others. There will not be a strict theme, so you are encouraged to create presentations and posters on topics you are passionate about. The lecture program guarantees a diverse range of topics and levels of expertise, ensuring there's something of interest for everyone.
An integral aspect of the Kindergarten experience is the inclusion of lectures by special guests from the School of Theoretical Physics. This provides an opportunity to engage in discussions on current topics with actual doctoral or professorial degrees. Participants also have access to all lectures conducted at the School. Details regarding lectures and speakers will be announced on the official Winter School website.
The Kindergarten will focus on 20-minute presentations by participants on topics of their choice, followed by a 5-minute discussion where attendees can exchange their insights. For the students who prefer another form of presentation, a poster session will be held.
To fully seize the opportunity of being in the Giant Mountains, various non-scientific activities will be organized. Whether you choose to spend your free time admiring mountain views, strolling through the town, or socializing with fellow participants, we promise that the memory of Karpacz will stay with you for a long time.
