This very popular series of 3-4 public lectures each year takes advantage of the presence of the many distinguished scientists who come to collaborate on the most fascinating and challenging questions in their fields.
Chalk Talks are held for the Friends of the KITP about four times per year. Preceded by a light meal and refreshments, the audience members then move into our intimate Simons Amphitheater where a leading scientist presents information about their research.
The KITP hosts an exciting, one-day Teachers' Conference each year, held in conjunction with an on-going program, designed to introduce high school science teachers to the latest discoveries and ideas.
The Writer-in-Residence program, jointly sponsored by the KITP and the Kavli Foundation, hosts science writers, editors and journalists at the KITP for up to five months each year.
Blackboard Talks serve to cross program boundaries. Given at the blackboard, speakers present the major science puzzles addressed by the program. Full of dialog and interruptions, these talks often serve as the best summary available of the physics frontiers.
Brought to you in conjunction with the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) and the Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics, the Innovate Seminar Series is a new forum for NSBP members to share their research ideas and projects in a non-specialist way with a wide audience.
Browse recorded pedagogical talks from KITP programs and conferences in fields including astrophysics, condensed matter, quantum information, climate, machine learning, and more.
