Join us at the 7th Annual Conference of the Nordic Network for Diversity in Physics (NORNDiP)! This event brings together researchers, educators, and students from across the Nordic region to explore cutting-edge physics research. It also serves as a platform to discuss key issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in physics and the broader scientific community.
The conference will take place at Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden on November 18–19, 2025
Conference Theme: Diverse Trajectories – Challenging the Norms in Physics Research and Culture
Keynote Speakers
Prof. Jocelyn Bell Burnell, University of Cambridge, UK
Astrophysicist and pioneering scientist, Prof. Jocelyn Bell Burnell is known for her discovery of pulsars as a graduate student – one of the most significant astrophysical findings of the 20th century. A dedicated advocate for women and underrepresented groups in science, she has received numerous awards for both her groundbreaking research and her efforts to improve diversity and inclusion in STEM.
Dr. Jessica Wade, Imperial College London, UK
An awarded physicist, author and advocate for diversity in STEM, Dr. Jessica Wade specializes in materials science, particularly polymer-based electronics. Beyond her research, she is internationally recognized for her advocacy work, including increasing the visibility of underrepresented scientists through outreach and Wikipedia contributions.
What to Expect
- Inspiring presentations from keynote speakers and physicists from across the Nordic countries
- Engaging discussions on gender, diversity, and inclusion in science and science education
- Opportunities for young scientists (students and early-career researchers) to present their work
The event is free to attend, thanks to generous support from Chalmers’ Genie – Gender Initiative for Excellence. We welcome participants from all career stages who are passionate about diversity, inclusion, and excellence in physics.
