The Baltic Teacher Programme 2024 will take place from 10-15 March 2024. 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 to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists...
