Physics@FOM Veldhoven takes place each year in January. It is a large congress that provides a topical overview of physics in the Netherlands. Traditionally, young researchers are given the chance to present themselves and their work alongside renowned names from the Dutch and international physics community. Physics@FOM Veldhoven 2011 will be held on Tuesday 18 and Wednesday 19 January 2011 at NH Koningshof in Veldhoven. The programme will cover condensed matter, nanoscience and nanotechnology, statistical physics, atomic physics, molecular physics, optical physics, physics of fluids, subatomic physics and fusion/plasma physics.

The full programme will be available in October 2010 (see the section Programme).

Physics@FOM Veldhoven 2011 includes condensed matter, nanoscience and -technology, statistical physics, atomic, molecular and optical physics, physics of fluids, subatomic physics and plasma and fusion physics.
