Hasta la física y más allá: próxima parada, el futuro

Date: Thursday, 14 May

Venue: Institute for Theoretical Physics, IFT UAM-CSIC

Format: Outreach event, meeting with students and SPIN recognition ceremony

Event description

Next Thursday, 14 May, “Hasta la física y más allá: próxima parada, el futuro” will take place: a science outreach event that will bring together students, researchers and science communicators for an afternoon devoted to some of the most fascinating questions in contemporary physics.

Throughout the event, topics such as the Higgs potential, the early universe, the physics of machine learning, black holes and cosmology will be addressed by researchers and science communicators specialised in these areas.

The programme will also include the SPIN Gala, a brief ceremony recognising the students who have carried out external internships at the IFT during the 2025–2026 academic year, as well as the launch of NOVA+ Mentoring, a new mentoring programme by the DFT and the IFT aimed at accompanying, supporting and inspiring students throughout their academic and scientific journey.
