Warwick Week is a week of graduate lectures hosted at the University of Warwick. It focuses on topics which are relevant to the experiments that UK graduate students are currently involved with and aims to present the theory behind these experiments, and to put the experiments in context in the current research landscape.

The first week, from Thursday April 10th to Thursday April 17th, will be held in-person for those who wish to travel to Warwick. A schedule for Warwick Week 2025 can be found at WFW 2025 Timetable. There will be opportunities for social gatherings (better known as "Dinner") in this week.

We hope to provide a full online connection for all lectures for those who cannot attend in person.

Lectures given are

• Heavy Flavour Physics : Nicola Skidmore (Warwick)
• Neutrino Physics : Steve Boyd (Warwick)
• High-Pt Physics : Juraj Bracinic and Andy Chisholm (Birmingham)
• Astroparticle Physics : Susan Cartwright (Sheffield)
• Detector techniques : Antonis Papanestis (STFC RAL) and Mika Vesterinen (Warwick)
• Beam Physics : Chris Rogers (STFC RAL)
• Summaries of lecture content and background reading can be found in the Background Reading page.

We expect students from the University of Birmingham, the University of Bristol, the University of Lancaster, the University of Liverpool, the University of Sheffield, and, of course, the University of Warwick

Travel details

Travel details can be found here. Different options are available depending on where you stay. In previous years most students drove to Warwick. There are a number of car parks available. The University has installed a fully automatic ANPR system. Details of where and how to pay for parking can be found at Warwick University Parking. One can also get to Warwick from Coventry (city and/or railway station), Kenilworth and Leamington Spa using public transport. Mobility details can be found at University of Warwick Transport.

A map of the campus with some badly drawn directions is shown here

In this map:

• the purple circle outlines the Physics and MAS (Materials) building.
• the blue circle outlines the recommended parking spaces
• the wonky orange line shows the current driving route through the central campus. It's one way and follow direction set by the black arrows.
• the solid black line shows the walking route from the parking lot to Physics. It is easiest to access Physics from the Science Concourse, which is reached by a short staircase and a bridge from the library.
• the dashed black line shows the easiest walking route from the Bus Interchange to the bridge from the library to the Science Concourse

Accommodation Details

Those who are planning to come to Warwick will need to find accommodation. The University is sited between the towns of Kenilworth, Royal Leamington Spa and the city of Coventry. All have reasonable hotels and B&Bs and have public transport links to the University. In previous years many students grouped together and rented houses via AirB&B as well. The University has some possibilities at accommodation around the University of Warwick. There are also on-site conference services, which can be accessed from Warwick Conferences.

Lecture Room

The lectures will be held in the MAS building in Rooms MAS 2.05/2.06. This building is next to the Physics building and is most easily accessed from the Science Concourse. A key card is needed to get into the building, but we will have people on hand to open the doors for you.
