Physics Section, University of Geneva/CERN

The Physics section at University of Geneva.

Physics is universal. Teaching physics also. But in Geneva, this science takes a particular color. Not only because it is always taught by excellent physicists, but also because it is enriched by close collaboration with CERN, its neighbour since more than 50 years, which is one of the largest particle physics laboratory in the world.

Is that all ? No. If the reputation of the Geneva Physics departement goes far beyond the narrow frontiers of the country , it is also because of its scientific products published in prestigious journals, which its researchers are developping in domains as diverse as : astrophysics, novel materials, particle physics, cryptography, cosmology, nanophysics, etc.
