In order to keep a dynamic atmosphere and aid scientific exchange, the Wilczek Quantum Center regularly organizes meetings of various types: from standard slide-based talks in one of our seminar rooms to e-board discussions at WQC's lounge. Below you will find the schedule for such activities (scroll all the way down for the location of the common venues).

Note that owed to the current pandemic situation, we have started a new biweekly webinar series through ZOOM, so that all our associate members around the globe can stay in touch. Check the upcoming meetings below!
