Description

The Joint Universities Accelerator School (JUAS) has provided postgraduate-level education in the science and technology of particle accelerators to more than 1400 students since 1994. Most have earned credits towards Masters or Doctoral degrees at our Partner Universities in Europe, while students at other universities around the world and early-career professionals have sought to enhance their applicable knowledge and skills. Many have gone on to pursue successful careers in large accelerator laboratories such as CERN, in industry or in universities.

The JUAS is turning 30 this year: Let's celebrate together this important milestone during a full day at CERN on 27th November 2024!

The main goal of this event is of course to get together and it will be also the occasion to present to all of you the JUAS-2024 book, which has been written for this occasion and which will be released on 15/11/2024.

We do hope that you will be able to join to share a great moment together!

A video showcasing 30 years of memories through photos was created for the anniversary and presented at the event (see below or in this LINK).
