Online lectures within the virtual DPG-Frühjahrstagungen (DPG Spring Meetings) 2021

Accompanying the virtual DPG-Frühjahrstagungen (DPG Spring Meetings) 2021, various associations of the DPG organised online lecture series. These were aimed in particular at young scientists and were offered free of charge.

The contributions were exclusively broadcast live and not recorded, which is why they cannot be called up again at a later date.

"Online lectures of the Matter and Cosmos Section"

Spring meetings are also an orientation aid for students and doctoral candidates for their choice of subject and scientific orientation. In order to compensate for the cancellation of the 2020 spring meeting and the postponement of the 2021 meeting to the autumn, the Matter and Cosmos Section as well the Short Time-scale Physics and Applied Laser Physics division and the Plasma Physics divisionsare organised an online lecture series aimed especially at young scientists.

This event offered three days (10.03.-12.03.2021) of highlight lectures in which the various divisions presented themselves with topics from current research. In addition, the participants had the opportunity - in "Meet the Speakers Sessions" - to have in-depth discussions with the invited speakers.

In the period 15.03.-16.03.2021, the symposium "Dark Matter" as well as a plenary lecture of the Dortmund conference were included in the event.

The lecture series was offered free of charge. There were no active conference contributions (short presentations/posters) by participants within the lecture series.

"Semiconductors for breakfast"

After the great success in 2020, "semiconductors for breakfast" went into the second round in 2021. In the period from 15.03.-26.03.2021, an exciting lecture on a current topic in semiconductor physics was presented every day.

The online lectures were held live via Zoom and were intended to appeal in particular to students and doctoral candidates. The lectures took place at breakfast time at 10:15, with the possibility to ask questions afterwards.
