Jeff Wiener (CERN)

The UK Teacher Programme 2025 will take place from 2-6 December 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 the UK as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists...
