Geometric Models of Nuclear Matter Conference

There will be a conference on geometric models of nuclear matter from Monday, 18/08/2014 to Wednesday, 20/08/2014. The conference is supported by a conference grant from the IoP Mathematical and Theoretical Physics Group and the IoP Nuclear Physics Group. The talks will take place in the Maths Lecture Theatre at the SMSAS at Kent. Please download the program in color or in black and white.

The conference poster can be found here.

The conference dinner will take place on Tuesday, 19/08/2014 at 7 pm in Pinocchio’s. The £24 for the three course dinner menu should be paid at the registration desk. The menu can be found here.

Organising Committee

Please email Dr Steffen Krusch at S.Krusch@kent.ac.uk. in case you are interested in attending the conference. Women speakers, in particular, are encouraged to present a talk and attend the conference. Please contact me to discuss what we can do to enable participation by people with children or family responsibilities. The London Mathematical Society and the Institute of Physics also make available grants to assist parents and carers to attend meetings.
