Physics Days

Physics Days (Fysiikan päivät) are the annual meeting of the Finnish Physical Society.  It is an important tradition gathering together physicists working in Finland to network and share the knowledge of physics research and applications done in Finland and also world-wide. Days also engage school kids, organizes an exhibition and a Studia Generalia and hosts the division and working group meetings. The days have been organised since 1948 when the first meeting was held in Helsinki. Back then Physics Days occurred less frequently but since 1972 they have been an annual event.  

Physics Days carry traditionally a theme that aims at bridging across the fields. Examples of the past themes are in the list below.
