Description

The Bulgarian Engineering Teacher Programme 2025 will take place from 14-19 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 Bulgaria as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists...
