About ISSEPP
The Ioannina Summer School on Elementary Particle Physics: Theory, Data Analysis & Applications (ISSEPP) is a scientific event organized by our student team, the Physics Society of Ioannina (PSI), in collaboration with the Department of Physics of the University of Ioannina. It is a one-week summer school taking place on campus (Department of physics), focusing on contemporary research in Elementary Particle Physics, including its theoretical framework and the analysis of experimental data. The Summer School is intended for undergraduate students (3rd year and above), postgraduate students, as well as PhD candidates from Departments of Physics. For effective participation, applicants should have a good command of the English language and a background in modern physics.
Selection Process
Once applications close, the Organizing Committee (PSI) will select participants on a first-come, first-served basis, while also ensuring that all academic requirements are met.
Certificate Requirements
Participants who attend at least 80% of the total scheduled hours of the summer school program will automatically be awarded a Certificate of Participation upon its conclusion. No additional application is required to receive this document.
Fees
The Summer School has no participation fee. Optional catering is available for participants who wish to use it at a cost of 32.5€, covering five lunch meals (1/7–5/7). All relevant details can be found in the application form.
Our Goal
The event aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to Elementary Particle Physics, covering both its theoretical foundations and modern methods of data analysis and their applications. Our goal is to offer participants the opportunity to explore cutting-edge topics, interact with specialized scientists in the field, and develop practical skills that are essential for their future path in research.
