Welcome to the official webpage of PLANCKS 2025 in Barcelona!
The Physics League Across Numerous Countries for Kick-ass Students (PLANCKS) is an international physics competition for bachelor's and master's students. Taking place over four exciting days, the event combines a challenging physics contest with a program full of social and scientific activities. Students from around the globe come together to compete, connect, and share their passion for physics while exploring the host country's research environment and culture.
Since its first edition in Utrecht 2014, PLANCKS has become a cornerstone event for fostering international collaboration and creating lasting connections between physics students worldwide. PLANCKS Barcelona 2025 will mark the 12th edition of this competition.
