Scope

The Eötvös Graduate School and Workshop is part of the postgraduate education in physics at the Eötvös University. The aim with this school is to bring the graduate students up to date on a given topic and, at the same time, prepare them for participation in international conferences. For this reason, we invite the leading specialist of the world as lecturers and combine the school with a Workshop. Students attending the school usually come from all over the world.
