The Romanian Teacher Internship Programme 2024 (RO-TP 2024) takes place at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) from 9 to 14 June 2024.

 

The Romanian Teacher Programme 2024 takes place from 9-14 June 2024. This programme brings together 24 Physics teachers, along with some of the best professors and researchers in particle physics. 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 Romania as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists.
