Description

The first UK Teachers Programme in 2016 will take place from  15 to 18 February. Lectures, on-site visits and exhibitions and hands-on workshops as well will introduce its participants into 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 and and...

If you would like to participate, please get in touch with your national organiser Mark Langley from the National Science Learning Centre at the University of York. 

Information about the scientific programme and agenda can be found under Timetable and through the following short link: https://indico.cern.ch/e/UKTP16_1
