EDIT Instrumentation Schools
EDIT (Excellence in Detector and Instrumentation Technologies) is a series of schools aimed at young researchers, including graduate students and early-career postdocs, who seek to deepen their knowledge of detector technologies and instrumentation for particle physics.
Rotating across Europe, Asia, and North America, the EDIT Schools provide a unique opportunity for participants to learn about a wide range of detector technologies and experimental methods through academic courses and hands-on laboratories. This approach is especially valuable for physicists seeking to understand the performance and limitations of state-of-the-art technologies used in major experiments.
By broadening their understanding of detectors beyond their specific areas of expertise, participants will enhance their skills in operating these technologies, fostering innovation in R&D and data interpretation.
CERN will host the EDIT School in 2026, marking 15 years since its first edition. The program will feature lectures, keynote talks, and hands-on sessions.
