The Dutch Language Teacher Programme 2018 will take place from 26-30 September 2018. 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 Belgium and the Netherlands as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists ...
