This is an invitation only three-day residential course for A2 physics students designed specifically for Ogden sixth form scholars and Ogden-sponsored schools. There will be 40 places available.
The symposium is funded by The Ogden Trust and includes accommodation and all meals, but there is a non-refundable registration fee of £50. Travel expenses up to £120 may be claimed after the event equivalent to a return student rail fare plus taxis to and from Durham station, or 45p per mile, whichever is the lesser.
