50 years of Physics at Warwick

The Physics Department are holding a day of celebrations on Saturday 4th July to mark the 50th anniversary of Warwick's Physics Department and to look forward to the next fifty years. The day is for alumni, staff, students and their families. Visitors will have the opportunity to tour the department and facilities, to see demonstrations and outreach activities and to catch up with fellow alumni.

Activities on the day
  • Imagining the future
    • We will be burying a time capsule on the day, to be opened on the 100th anniversary! Submit your ideas for what should go inside by posting on our public forum.
    • Have a picture of yourself, the department, classmates and the campus from long ago? Send it to us via physics50 (alumni) or upload directly here (with login).
  • Remembering the past
    • Meet your peers from yesterday in dedicated breakout sessions in the afternoon.
    • Find yourself on our photo gallery of days gone by, all the way to 1965!
  • Celebrating the present
    • Participate in tours of the department and the ever increasing Warwick campus.
    • We are making a fingerprint tree of all visitors on the day, come along to get yours put on the display as well.
    • See our current students and participate in some of their activities (fly a Warwick rocket!)

If you are a physics alumni, a current student or member of staff, if you are their family, then come along and make it a day they will still speak of in 50 years to come!
