On February 22, Nobel Prize winners in physics, Prof. Barry C. Barish and Prof. Arthur B. McDonald, will deliver lectures “Exploring the Hidden Universe.” The event will be held at the Center for Innovation Management and Technology Transfer at Warsaw University of Technology.

Prof. Arthur B. McDonald of Queen’s University in Canada, along with Takaaki Kajita, was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of neutrino oscillations, which prove that neutrinos have mass.

Prof. Barry C. Barish of the University of California, Riverside, in the United States, along with Kip Thorne and Rainer Weiss, received the 2017 Nobel Prize (also in physics) for their decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves.

The meeting is organized by the AstroCeNT International Research Agenda.

Partners of the event are Warsaw University, Warsaw University of Technology, the National Center for Nuclear Research, the Polish Physical Society, and the Polish Astronomical Society.
