Description

The Mini-school on Particle and Astroparticle Physics, organised jointly by CFTP (Centro de Física Teorica de Particulas) and LIP (Laboratório de Instrumentação e Física Experimental de Partículas), provides undergraduate students with an overview of the field, covering both theoretical and experimental aspects. 

The school is primarily aimed at third-year undergraduate physics students and will be held fully in in-person mode.

In the first day there will be introductory lectures on different topics. The second day will consist of hands-on tutorials (morning) and a session in which research opportunities will be presented to the participants by CFTP and LIP researchers (afternoon). MSc and PhD students from both research centres will present posters on their current research work. This will be an oportunity for the undergraduate students to exchange views with more advanced colleagues.
