Graduate Program on Physics for the Universe (GPPU) at Tohoku University is an educational program for graduate students who will lead international projects and play an active part in their global employability. [ http://gp-pu.tohoku.ac.jp ]

As a part of the educational program, we are organizing a school, “GPPU school”, held in Sep. 24-27, 2024. The location is within Aobayama-campus:

Aoba Science Hall, Science Complex C, C201, H04 (hybrid)

Link to the map:  https://www.tohoku.ac.jp/japanese/profile/campus/01/aobayama/

The school covers topics including elementary particle, astro-, and nuclear physics. 

The school consists of plenary and student sessions. In the plenary sessions world experts give overview on fundamental problems in the contemporary physics. In the student session, selected GPPU students in the Ph.D. course give talks arranged for wide audiences. There is also a poster session given by master and Ph.D. students. 

Students are strongly encouraged to ask questions during and after the talk: instead of having too many talks, the time is reserved for discussions.

Speakers basically use zoom for their presentations by sharing their screens. Please register before your talk.

About Wifi:

The only available wifi is "eduroam". If you are a speaker but do not have an account, please send the slides to <toru.kojo.b1[at]tohoku.ac.jp> or give it to the organizer using a USB.

The links to abstracts, slides, and sheets for vote can be found in "Program". 

To speakers:

Please submit your slides one day before your talk. (A tentative one is ok if your slides are not finalized.)
