EDIT 2011 School

 

 

Scientific Activities

EDIT2011 School will offer a series of Plenary lectures and eight days of theoretical classes and laboratories courses led by experts in different detector technologies.
Students will be gathered in groups of around 10 persons. Each group will follow during a whole day (or two) a series of lectures interleaved with laboratory courses on the same topic. During the laboratory courses, students will be assisted by Tutors, experts who prepared the experimental set-ups, and by Professors of Excellence, lecturers or experts who will support the students with additional explanations and critical discussions.
