The number of participants is limited to 40.
EXPLORE stands for "EXPeriential Learning Opportunity through Research and Exchange”. It is an international student research collaboration in theoretical astroparticle physics and brings together students from Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, and York University and the University of Alberta in Canada. The EXPLORE project is mentored by the following faculty supervisors:
- Camilla Hansen, Laura Sagunski, and Jürgen Schaffner-Bielich (Goethe University)
- Nassim Bozorgnia and Saeed Rastgoo (University of Alberta)
- Patrick Hall and Sean Tulin (York University)
- James Mertens (Case Western University)
The EXPLORE project is supported by the Academic Innovation Fund (AIF) at York University, Goethe University QSL (``Quality Assurance in Teaching'') funds, the DFG Collaborative Research Center CRC-TR 211 “Strong-interaction matter under extreme conditions” and the State of Hesse through the research cluster ELEMENTS.
