ICTP Teaching the Teachers

In a joint effort to encourage high school students to study physics at university, ICTP and UNESCO are hosting a 'Meeting of modern science and school physics: College for school teachers of physics'. The main aim of the meeting is to bring together selected teachers of physics from different countries and well-known scientists from various fields of modern physics, to discuss new advances in physics as well as modern science teaching methodologies. The lectures will be carefully tuned to the level of the audience.

Topics range from nanoscience and superconductivity to the physics of cooking and sports. Fifty participants from 17 countries are attending the course, which runs until 3 May.
