The Munich Physics Colloquium is the platform for physics research in the Munich area. It is jointly organized by the two universities and the corresponding Max Planck Institutes. The lectures report on current topics in physics and related fields and reflect the interdisciplinary nature of modern physics.
The events start at 4:15 pm, unless a special starting time is noted. All lectures are open to the public and admission is free.
