WATERLOO, Ontario, Canada, September 18, 2008 - They’ve come from 17 countries around the world, and though they may speak different languages at home, here in Waterloo, they all speak physics, all the time. These 28 outstanding physics graduate students have converged on Waterloo to attend Perimeter Scholars International (PSI), an innovative and intensive 10-month Masters level course being held at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (PI), in partnership with the University of Waterloo.
University of Waterloo President David Johnston and Perimeter Institute Director Neil Turok recently celebrated the program’s official launch at Perimeter Institute. “PSI is a bold and exciting partnership that is very much in keeping with the spirit of innovation driving both Perimeter Institute and the University of Waterloo,” said Johnston. "These students are pioneers of a new model for research training and I expect we’ll soon see some remarkable new scientists graduating from the program."
