Description

The International Teacher Weeks Programme 2026 took place from 2-15 August 2026. Lectures, on-site visits, exhibitions, and hands-on workshops introduced participants to cutting-edge particle physics. We hoped our participants went back to their countries as ambassadors who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists...
