Participation :

The Workshop provides a once in the year opportunity for all researchers and postgraduate students in condensed matter theory and related fields to come together to exchange ideas and to identify new directions of research. We hope to hear from our local experts about their current activities and where they envisage the new opportunities lie.
Timetable will be available on Tuesday December 7.
