The Maltese Teacher Programme 2019 will take place from 11-16 February 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 Malta as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists ...
