First ArPS summer School on Advanced physics

Mansoura University, Egypt, August 26 to 31, 2023

Overview

The Arab Physical Society, in partnership with Mansoura University, is organising a summer school on advanced physics that would provide an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of physics and gain hands-on experience in a variety of topics. This summer school would be a week-long program that would take place from August 26 to 31, 2023. The school will use a combination of English and Arabic languages. Expressions, equations, and other technical terms will be in English, while explanations will be given in Arabic unless there are non-Arabic participants, in which case explanations will be provided in English. Participants who successfully pass our evaluation during the summer school will be awarded credit certificates as recognition of their achievement. The program will also feature a series of seminars on cutting-edge research topics, such as gravitational waves, low-temperature superconductivity, quantum entanglement and quantum information, and symmetry in physics and symmetry breaking. These seminars will provide participants with the opportunity to learn about the latest advances in these fields and engage in discussions with leading experts. We anticipate that the summer school will attract a diverse group of participants, including graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists with a strong interest in advanced physics. Our goal is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where participants can learn from each other, share their experiences, and collaborate on new ideas. The summer school will take place at Mansoura University campus, and participants will be accommodated in the university guest house. In order to ensure the commitment of participants, we require a symbolic registration fee of 1000 EGP for Egyptian participants and 150 USD for non-Egyptian participants. This fee will be used to partially cover the cost of accommodation, meals, and program materials.
