IOP Evening Lectures

The IOP (Institute of Physics) holds Evening Lectures whose purpose is to attract the interest and sensibilize the wide public to the importance of Science in general and Physics in particular.

We run such lectures at the University of Wolverhampton since 2018. The respective programs appear below. Since 2020, most of these lectures are also recorded on the IOP YouTube channel.

Fabrice gives a traditional Nobel lecture each year in October to honor the scientists and science nominated on each occasion.

2018—2019

See the 2018-19 booklets of abstracts: part I & part II.

I gave my Nobel Lecture this year (on Mourou, Strickland and Ashkin's use of lasers), but it was not yet part of the IOP series. However, the chair of the West-Midland IOP Committee was there and suggested to run it under its patronage from now on.

2019—2020

Two other talks were scheduled but had to be cancelled due to the Covid pandemic. The talk by Martin Khechara has been rescheduled for the 2022-23 edition.
