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 focus of the school alternates every year between electroweak standard model physics and strong interaction physics.

The fee for the school is 1000 Euro per participant. Registration and payment information via INDICO.

The school will take place in a very family friendly environment. If you have children and you will need child care during the lectures and tutorials, please mention it with your registration and get in contact with the us. We will try to find a solution.

Location and travelling

The 2015 BND School will take place in Landal Resort Eifeler Tor in Heimbach in the Eifel region, approximatey 40 km from Aachen. The resort is nicely located between the Rurstausee and the small village of Heimbach. All students and teachers will reside in houses (see picture gallery) with three floors, four double-bed rooms, two bathrooms (one with sauna), fully equipped kitchen and a living room on the center floor.

The two weeks are with full board, but kitchens and living rooms give a nice possibiliy for social events in the evenings.

On Landal Resort Eifeler Tor you will find the adress and travel information, if you want to go there directly.

On Monday, August 31st, the first day of the school we will organize a bus transfer from Düren main station to Landal Resort Eifeler Tor. In Friday, September 11th, a bus transfer to Düren main station is possible. Booking during the registration procedure in INDICO.
