LINKS AND ACTIVITIES

We have a series of regular seminars on Wednesdays named "Journal Club of Theoretical and Astroparticle Physics", replaced by "Theory Colloquia" once per month.
We also have informal discussions on Tuesdays, alternating between the "Pheno-Coffee" and the "Theory-Coffee".
The schedule for all our activities is on the Indico Calendar, which can be downloaded from here.



Members of our group are involved in various national and international research networks:

UNILHC (FP7 Marie Curie - Initial Training Network)
HEPTOOLS (FP6 Marie Curie - Research and Training Network)
SUPERFIELDS (ERC Advanced Grant)
