Description

The Polish Teacher Programme 2026 will take place from 22-27 March 2026. 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 Poland as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists...
