PI - NRC Meeting | Perimeter Institute

COVID-19 information for PI Residents and Visitors

Conference Date:

Monday, May 7, 2018 (All day) to Tuesday, May 8, 2018 (All day)

Pirsa Collection:

The Canada’s National Research Council (NRC) is a leading experimental facility in Canada for Astronomy and Astrophysics as well as metrology including quantum optics. With this two-day workshop, we plan to explore common interests in order to improve Perimeter’s connections with experiment and see whether our combined expertise can shed light onto outstanding fundamental physics questions.

Each day will feature a combination of a few hour-long talks from both Perimeter theorists and NRC experimentalists. Please, come and see not only what some of your colleagues are working on but also learn about some of remarkable experimental work that is being conducted now in Canada.
