The 17^th Portuguese Language Teacher Programme (2025) will take place from 31 August to 5 September 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 their countries as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists...
