Summer School on High Energy Particle Physics

Africa/Johannesburg
University of Cape Town

University of Cape Town

Description

The University of Cape Town will host a summer school on high energy particle physics from October 30 until November 3 2013.  An excellent group of international lecturers will cover a broad range of theoretical and experimental topics relevant to the hard probes 2013 conference,  for which this is a pre-conference school.

Our goal for the school is to specifically provide students and young researchers including academic staff at South African Insitutions an opportunity to broaden their skills and to profit from attending the conference.
