IMPRS annual meeting 2020
The Annual Meeting 2020, organized by the International Max Planck Research School Physics of Light (IMPRS-PL), took place between October 21st and 23rd.
30 students, supervisors and external speakers all met in a virtual setting for three days of learning, exchanging ideas and socializing. Students presented their work during talks and attended block lectures tailored to their needs. Of particular interest were invited talks by renowned international scientists Prof. Sergio Leon-Saval, Prof. David Miller and Prof. Philipp Slusallek.
Undisputed highlight was the discussion round organized by the student spokesperson Mallika Irene Suresh in which students seized the opportunity to ask questions on a variety of topics to the invited panelists who moved through the different break-out groups creating a very personal and engaging atmosphere.
On the last day, IMPRS-PL Alumni Dr. Federico Belli presented insights into his work after leaving MPL. During an internal reflection round, Jasmin Graf was elected IMPRS student spokesperson for the upcoming year.
Due to circumstances the Autumn Academy unfortunately had to be cancelled.
