The Lebanese Teacher Programme 2017 will take place from 16-21 April 2017. 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 Lebanon as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists ...
