Which master’s specialization should you choose?  \nCome and chat with PhD students from UCLouvain around six thematic tables: \n\nMathematical Physics\nClimatology\nParticle Physics (theoretical & experimental)\nAtomic & Optical Physics\nGravitational Waves & Instrumentation\n\nThe concept? You spend 20 minutes at each table to learn more about the topics that interest you\, and to ask your questions about PhD life (conferences abroad\, teaching\, daily routine\, challenges of the PhD\, etc.)\, then you go to the next table. \nWhen? Tuesday\, February 24\, 6:30–9:30 p.m.\nWhere? Cyclotron 02 & 03 \nNo registration is required\, and free snacks and drinks will be provided \nWhether you are an undergraduate (especially third-year students with the choice of a master’s coming up) or a master’s student\, this is the perfect time to demystify research and find out which topic might suit you. \nWe’re looking forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Belgian Fusion Day
DESCRIPTION:Curious how fusion can power tomorrow? \nDiscover Belgium’s role in the path to fusion energy! \nOpen to students\, educators\, researchers and innovators \nThe Belgian Fusion Day is a joint event organised by the fusion research laboratories at the Royal Military Academy\, the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK-CEN\, Universiteit Gent\, KU Leuven\, Université libre de Bruxelles and Université Catholique de Louvain. It aims to showcase to a broad audience the current state of Fusion Energy development and the involvement of Belgium in the pursuit of this abundant and carbon-free energy source of the future. \nIn this 4th edition of the event\, we focus in particular on the landscape of private fusion companies\, and the role Belgium’s high-tech industry can play in the development of future fusion power plants. The program includes: \n\nInvited speakers from ITER – the world’s largest fusion experiment – and private fusion companies\nOverview of expertise of the Belgian fusion labs\nViews on how Belgium’s high-tech industry can contribute to the development of fusion power plants\nNetworking lunch and reception\n\nWe make the link with fusion-relevant technologies\, including: \n\nAdvanced cooling solutions\nAdvanced computing and digital twins\nGenerative design\nData science\, machine learning\, AI\nAntenna design\nAdditive manufacturing\nThermomechanical analysis and structural integrity assessment\nPlasma Diagnostics & Control\nHeat- & neutron-resistant materials\nVacuum technology and cryogenics\nRemote handling

SUMMARY:Departmental colloquium on weather and climate modeling by  Prof. Steven Caluwaerts (UGent/KMI)
DESCRIPTION:Professor Steven Caluwaerts will give a talk on weather and climate modeling. \nThe miracle of atmospheric modelling: past\, present and future\n \nSince the mid‑20th century\, numerical weather forecasts have been produced\, and today we take their remarkable accuracy for granted. More recently\, climate projections have entered the public sphere\, playing a crucial role in guiding adaptation and mitigation policies. But what science underpins these atmospheric models\, and why do they work so well?\n\nIn this talk\, Prof. Steven Caluwaerts (Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium – Ghent University) will explore the past\, present\, and future of weather and climate modelling. He will also highlight several ongoing research projects at Belgian research institutions that are advancing our understanding of the atmosphere and its role in a changing climate.\nHybrid meeting can be arranged if enough external interest (let us know on our mail below). \nDetails\nThursday 13/05\nCampus Groenenborger\, G.US.024\n(Groenenborgerlaan 171\, 2020 Antwerpen)\nPlanning:\n– 16:15h start of talk\n– 17h reception \nHope to see you there! \nWith kind regards\,\nThe Antwerp Young Minds \nContact: youngminds@uantwerpen.be
