Meeting of Young Scientists

After the successful revival of the „THz Frischlinge” meeting 2018 in Kaiserslautern, it will be continued 2019 in Frankfurt am Main. The meeting (“THz Frischlinge”/“THz débutants et débutantes“) is intended as a meeting for young scientists and researchers (bachelor/master/PhD students) active in the wide field of terahertz and millimeter-wave technology (organized “by students, for students”). It gives you the opportunity to present your research in a talk or a poster, to extend your scientific network and to exchange experiences with other students active in your research topic.

Important information:

  • Time: Sunday, 31.03.2019 noon to Monday, 01.04.2019 late evening
  • Directly before the French-German Terahertz Conference: All participants can attend both (but separate registrations are necessary!)
  • Location: Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, Physikalisches Institut, Max-von-Laue-Straße 1, 60438 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
  • No registration fee!
  • The Abstract deadline is already over. If you want still to participate just write an email to wiecha@physik.uni-frankfurt.de.
  • If you are participating the FGTC main conference as well, we can travel together from Frankfurt to Kaiserslautern on 2nd April in the morning.

The conference is organized at the university Campus Riedberg in the Physics faculty. It is located outside the city center, but it can be reached within 20min from the city center by train (U8, station „Uni Campus Riedberg“). There are plenty of car parking spaces as well. For more details see the campus plan (building 3 „Physik“, part N310).
