Welcoming new students to the IMAPP program

The international Master's degree program "Advanced Methods in Particle Physics" (IMAPP), which is offered jointly by the Universities of Bologna and Clermont-Auvergne and TU Dortmund University, is entering the next round. Students on this program will travel together through Europe to study at all three universities in turn. The program focuses on particle physics and the main methods used in this field, namely statistics and machine learning, instrumentation and scientific computing and programming. In addition to academic training, all three universities offer language courses, cultural events and local support to bring students closer to the spirit of Europe and make their trip unforgettable. The program is financially supported by the Erasmus Mundus program of the European Union, the Franco-German University and the Franco-Italian University.
The cohort, which will start in the 2024/25 academic year, comprises 28 students from 18 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. The first semester will take place at the University of Clermont-Auvergne, and the students were welcomed there at the beginning of September by representatives of the physics faculties in Bologna, Clermont and Dortmund. Next year, the budding particle physicists will move on to Dortmund and Bologna for further academic training. From there, they will then travel on to one of the program's many partner institutions around the world to conduct research as part of their Master's project.
