WITP

Activities

The WITP holds a number of activities each year, including seminars in theoretical physics and an annual Summer Student Symposium for presentation of research by our student members. The WITP is also able to provide modest financial support for its members to host scientific visitors for discussion and collaboration.

In addition, as a means of promoting theoretical physics research in Manitoba and throughout Canada, the WITP provides support on a regular basis to the Theory Canada series of conferences and the Canadian Prairie Theoretical Physics Network meetings and to national and international physics conferences held in Manitoba when the occasion arises.

Finally, the WITP plans to host public lectures by prominent theoretical physicists in order to share the value of theoretical physics with the general public. Collaboration with other organizations on these events is welcome.

WITP is also an ongoing sponsor of the DTP/WITP P. R. Wallace Thesis Prize in conjunction with CAP.
