The school follows an intensive schedule of roughly 60-70 hours of lectures and tutorials spread over 10 days (Monday afternoon September 4, to Friday afternoon September 15). It contains a core theoretical program Quantum Field Theory with tutorials, Electroweak physics with tutorials and a core experimental program on the topic of Detectors for charged particle tracking. The core program is supplemented by various lectures as shown below. The program is supplemented with off-topic evening lectures, social-cultural activities and evening activities.
