The Baltic Teacher Programme 2025 will take place from 16-21 March 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 Estonia and Lithuania as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists...
