ASP2024—Teachers Program at the 8th African School of Physics

→ Africa/Casablanca
Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakesh, Morocco
Description

The 8th African School of Physics, ASP2024, is planned at Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakesh, Morocco, on July 7-21, 2024. ASP2024 consists of several activities: a program for university students, July 7-21, 2024: we selected 96 students from 534 applications from 50 countries; a training workshop for high school teachers: we expect 80 teachers from Morocco, selected by their relevant Ministry, July 8-12, 2024 and a forum to engage African policymakers in physics education and research on July 13. 

The scientific program for university students is available here:
