Conference: DIPHER24 – Diversity in Physics for the Diversity of Physics Erlangen 2024

The conference
DIPHER24 – Diversity in Physics for the Diversity of Physics Erlangen 2024
which will take place in Erlangen from 5-7 of November 2024.

DIPHER 24 continues the legacy of fostering inclusivity and advancing gender and diversity in the FAU Physics Department. Building on the success of previous conferences, DIPHER24 aims to delve deeper into the intersectionality of gender, diversity, and cultural perspectives within our department and the physics community. The conference provides a platform for researchers, educators, students, and professionals to engage in meaningful discussions, share insights, and collaborate towards creating a more inclusive and equitable environment in the Physics Department. Since the topic is quite complex and we are limited in time, we will set the focus this year on cultural differences.
DIPHER 24 welcomes individuals at all stages of their academic and professional journey in physics, including undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, educators, and industry professionals. We encourage participation from individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, identities, and perspectives.

DIPHER 2024 is organized by the Physics Department of the FAU, the Physics Diversity Network PHYDINE and the Max-Planck-Institute for the Science of Light (MPI). Further contributors are the TRR QuCoLiMa (Quantum Cooperativity of Light and Matter), the former Cluster Engineering of Advanced Materials, the Forschungsgruppe eRO-Step and the Elite Graduate Programme in Physics.

Confirmed speakers and panelists include:

Seth Asante (University of Jena)
Alicia Castro (Bordeaux University)
