Belgian Dutch German graduate school in particle physics
The school is intended primarily for experimental high energy physicists preparing a PhD in particle physics, in particular during their first two years. The lectures cover both theoretical and experimental aspects of the field. The BND graduate school 2019 will take place between 2nd (14:00) and 13th (13:00) September 2019, in Spa. Students are expected to stay the full period of the school. The fee will be 1100 Euro, and covers all expenses: meals, lectures, excursions, and boarding.
