Description

The Baltic Teacher Programme 2019 will take place from 5-9 March 2019. 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 Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists ...
