Calling all Bachelor's and Master's students,

The annual international theoretical physics competition PLANCKS is around the corner, and the UK and Ireland need to select our representatives to send to Milan in May 2023. Our PLANCKS preliminaries will be held at the University of Liverpool from 17th - 19th February 2023, sign up in teams of 3-4 before the 11th January 2023. Accommodation will be provided for teams that successfully register.

The free three-day event includes, apart from the competition, talks by distinguished academics, workshops, socials, the infamous PLANCKS Friday Night Quiz, and the return of the fantastic panel show ‘Are You Smarter Than An Undergrad?'
