CERN

Jeff Wiener (CERN)

The International Teacher Weeks Programme 2023 will take place from 6-19 August 2023. Lectures, on-site visits, exhibitions, and hands-on workshops will introduce its participants to cutting-edge particle physics. We hope our participants will go back as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists ...
