Research seminars/activities
There are weekly seminars organized by the participating Departments, as well as by the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics (IFIMAC), that you can follow here. In addition, the partner Institute of Materials Science ‘Nicolás Cabrera’ organizes a series of invited seminars, colloquia (‘Frontiers of Condensed Matter Physics’ series), as well as an annual International Summer School devoted to current topics in condensed matter physics, nanophysic and biophysics.
