As part of the LAPP and LAPTh Wednesdays series, the Annecy Laboratory of Particle Physics (LAPP) and the Annecy Laboratory of Theoretical Physics (LAPTh) are organizing a lecture titled “Transformations and Invariances in Physics,” which will take place on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the LAPP facilities on the Annecy campus, preceded by a tour of the EUTOPIA discovery center from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
This lecture will be presented by Laurent Gallot, a researcher at LAPTh. Visitors will be able to tour the laboratory before the lecture, starting at 5:00 p.m., for an opportunity to speak with the scientists.
About visits
Before the conference, starting at 5 p.m., interested parties will be able to visitthe EUTOPIA Discovery Areaand talk with scientists from LAPP and LAPTh.
About the conference
Symmetries (or invariances) are a major focus of research in theoretical physics. This lecture aims to help us understand these geometric transformations through concrete examples: first by observing them in the natural forms that surround us, and then by applying these concepts to gravity to discover Newton’s law.
About LAPP and LAPTh Wednesdays
One Wednesday per month, scientists from LAPP and LAPTh invite you to discover a different facet of research during a free event open to all. Lectures, tours, discussions, workshops... Several formats accessible to all audiences will be offered throughout the year.
