Joint TDLI & INPAC Winter School in Particle Physics 2025

This winter school aims to provide a pedagogical introduction and overview of our profound understanding of the microscopic world and its connection to the entire Universe. The school will also cover recent experimental developments in dark matter, neutrino, collider and muon physics where significant progress has been achieved. 

Students with 1-3 years of university physics education are invited to apply for onsite participant grants. The application should include a motivation letter and an academic transcript. The deadline for application is Dec 25, 2024.

This school is sponsored by the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute and the School of Physics and Astronomy of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Southeast University and Zhejiang University.

Organizers: Xiaogang He (SJTU),  Jianglai Liu (SJTU), Yifeng Sun (SJTU), Xin Xiang (SJTU), Haijun Yang (SJTU), Yongchao Zhang (SEU)
