Registration is now open for Vilnius University's Student for a Day event, which has already become a tradition and will take place on 24-28 October. During the event, Lithuanian and foreign students can see how higher education is conducted, get closer acquainted with the study programmes of interest and the admission procedure.

William Daniel Phillips – is a Distinguished University Professor at University of Maryland and a Fellow of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. His research activities include laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms, quantum information with single-atom qubits, atomic-gas Bose-Einstein condensates, atoms in optical lattices, atomic physics analogs of condensed matter systems, coherent de Broglie-wave atom optics and collisions of ultracold atoms.

As every year, September 1st is a holiday, so we invite you to participate in the events dedicated to this day: https://www.studentauk.vu.lt/en/program/?f=ff

Study activities will start on the 5th of September for first-year undergraduates, and on the 2nd of September for all other students of the Faculty of Physics (undergraduates and graduate students).

The Lithuanian Particle Physics Meeting (LPPM) is the gathering of particle physicists with connections to Lithuania. The goal of the meeting is to initiate and mediate a global network of Lithuanian scientists with interest in particle physics, which is broadly defined as theoretical and experimental study of elementary particles and fundamental interactions.
