The Institute of Shock Physics at Imperial College hosts a number of short courses throughout the year in the area of shock and high-rate phenomena, material properties, energetic materials and hydrodynamics.  The aim of these courses is to offer an opportunity for our students, visiting scientists and academics to cover a range of focussed topics with experts in the field of shock physics. 

Our Spring Course: Key Concepts of Shock Hydrodynamics, 27-31 March, 2017 Blackett, ICL

Please contact the Institute Administrator if you are interested in attending or if you have other short course topics that you would like the ISP to arrange.
