The Portuguese Language Teacher Programme 2026 will take place from 30 August - 4 September 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 their countries as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists...

A 18ª Escola de Professores no CERN em Língua Portuguesa (2025) irá ocorrer no CERN de 30 de agosto a 4 de setembro de 2025. Palestas, visitas locais, exposições e oficinas "com as mãos na massa", introduzirão os participantes à física de partículas e investigação de ponta que se realiza no CERN. Esperamos que todos os participantes regressem aos seus países como Embaixadores que passem estes desenvolvimentos à próxima geração de cientistas, engenheiros, etc.

 

The 18th edition of CERN's Portuguese Language Teachers Programme happens in the framework of the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the accession of Portugal to CERN, along 1985, and of the 40th anniversary of LIP, created on May 9th, 1986.
