The Hungarian Association of Physics Students organises the International Balaton Summer School in Physics.
The school aims to introduce the most recent results in four areas of physics:
Astroparticle physics: The section includes an introduction to general relativity, and then will move on to star models, gravitational waves and observations in cosmology.
Energetics: The section will revolve around answering the energy problems of the 21st century. The thematics will be fuels, plasma physics and fusion, and generation IV reactors.
Medical physics: This section will present applications of nuclear physics, in medical sciences. You will hear about PET, CT, MRI, irradiation linear accelerators, gamma knife, 3D nonlinear microscopy and more.
Self-organisation and networks: This section will introduce game theory, networks and graphs and their use in social and collective phenomena, and also the collective motion of self-propelled particles.
