20 January 2025 – DPC Afternoon meeting for new PIs

Traditionally, the DPC organises its ‘DPC Afternoon Meeting for new PIs’, prior to the strategic group leader meeting on the Monday evening during the NWO Physics Conference in Veldhoven. The DPC invites all physicists working in the Netherlands, who started their own research group recently to up to ca 5 years ago, for the upcoming January 2025 meeting. Of course, also PIs with a more senior career track are welcome.

 

Practical information

Date: Monday 20 January 2025
Time: 15:45 – 17:45 (incl. reception with other group leaders)

What is the programme?

This year’s meeting focuses on the ‘early career physicists network in formation’. Last year, during this meeting it was proposed to set up a network for and by early career physicists with the aim of creating a floor for things such as focused discussions, information exchange, and network strengthening. We shared a wrap-up with the participants earlier this year and found enthusiastic volunteers to be involved in setting-up this initiative. On 20 January they will present their initial ideas and together with you shape the goals and mission of this network.
