Welcome from President David Wiltshire
Kia ora koutou
You are invited to the University of Canterbury for the 19th Conference of the New Zealand Institute of Physics, incorporating Physikos, the New Zealand Physics Teachers Conference. Our venue is the brand new Ernest Rutherford building in the Regional Science and Innovation Centre, the centrepiece of transformation of the UC campus in the post earthquake era.
At a time when the world is facing multiple challenges, the from-the-first-principles nature of physics is more relevant than ever.
Come to Canterbury to be inspired, so that you may inspire the generations that will shape our future!
We promise an exciting line up of speakers on cutting edge physics pedagogy and research. Our new teaching labs will be turned over to you to share demonstrations, displays, posters. Invited speakers will give talks accessible to all attendees, while providing food for thought.
Climate physics, space physics, astrophysics, nanotechnology, quantum optics, medical imaging technology, ... it will all be covered. There will be two public lectures, a welcome reception, and a banquet included in the registration fee. Explore the Canterbury region - the Alps, Banks Peninsula, Hanmer Springs, ... pre- or post-conference.
See you in Christchurch in April!
David Wiltshire
President - New Zealand Institute of Physics
