About the Summer School
- When: 16 June 2025 to 27 June 2025
- Venue: Ramanujan Lecture Hall, ICTS Bengaluru
- Free Registration
- Eligibility criteria: The school is open to women studying for a bachelor’s degree/Integrated Masters degree with physics as a subject, and are entering their second year. This is a residential school and the selected participants will be fully supported.
- Application deadline: 28 February 2025
The school is designed to encourage women to take up physics as a career. The sessions will be centered on some simple physics experiments, conducted by the students, or as demonstrations. The subsequent discussion will focus on theoretical aspects motivated by the experiments and explore physical ideas and theory in an open ended manner, so as to bring out the excitement and interconnectedness of the subject. We will also have problem solving sessions and special lectures by invited speakers. The programme has been designed by an organising group from many institutions and specific inputs from HBCSE - the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and a sister organisation of ICTS. Participants will be required to stay on the ICTS campus and attend the entire school in order to maximally benefit from the experience.
