Physics or a closely related topic. Talks on Physics Education, Mathematics, Astronomy, Geophysics, Oceanography, et cetera are allowed, since there is a great range of subjects which are usually considered interesting and/or useful by physicists. Furthermore, the great diversity of research within Physics is expected to influence young physicists to study topics as diverse as Quantum Chromodynamics and Atmospherical Physics.
