The Danish Teacher Programme 2025 will take place from 2-7 February 2025. 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 Denmark as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists...
