The Particle Physics Journal club & Seminars is an informal series of journal club and seminars concerning theoretical, phenomenological and
experimental aspects of particle physics. The main focus is in phenomenological and experimental high energy physics.

Students are encouraged to participate. The Particle Physics seminars is also a course at Department of Physical Sciences (530178:
5 ECTS credits, 3 study weeks). To obtain credits students should give in total two journal club or seminars and attend the majority of
the journal club and seminars. If necessary students can obtain journal club or seminar subjects and material from the organizers.

You are free to give suggestion for journal clubs (i.e. sessions where we go through some interesting journal article) or seminars.
If you have questions or feedback, please the contact organizers!
