Welcome to the website of the 55th Scientific Conference for Young Students of Physics and Natural Sciences Open Readings 2012, which will take place in Vilnius, Lithuania from March 28th to March 31th, 2012. The conference deadlines are

• 1st of February, 2012 – final conference announcement (official programme is published)
• 24th of February, 2012 – the end of registration (deadline for sending abstracts)
• 28th of March, 2012 – the beginning of the conference

The annual Scientific Conference for Young Students of Physics and Natural Sciences „Open readings“ is a scientific students conference, that was started in 50‘s of the last century. Wealthy traditions of 53 years are continued till nowadays. The title „Open Readings“ empathises that the conference is open for any enthusiastic student, which wants to present his research results and scientic activity. Participants of the conference include bachelor, master and doctoral students not only from the Faculty of Physics of Vilnius University, but from the other scientific and academical institutions of Lithuania and foreign countries, as well. The number of participants and the diversity of presentation topics grows every year: one will find contributions ranging from devices for detection of poisonous bacteria to the physical simulations of sophisticated mechanisms of semiconductors.   We look forward to seeing you in “Open Readings 2012″ in Lithuania!
