Joint “Color meets Flavor” Lectures
The following advanced lectures in hadron and particle physics, offered jointly by the University of Bonn, TU Dortmund University, and the University of Siegen, are open to Master students and doctoral students from all three institutions. Participation is possible both in person and via Zoom. Under the title “Color meets Flavor”, the lectures explore and integrate key topics in quantum chromodynamics and flavor physics.
Credits obtained in these courses are officially recognized by all three universities. Please coordinate your course selection and credit transfer with the designated contact persons at your home institution. A form for use at TU Dortmund University is available here.
