For the past nineteen years, the International Neutrino Summer School (INSS) has convened at locations around the world to provide training for the next generation of neutrino physicists in both theory and experiment. The school brings together graduate students and postdocs, along with some of the best teachers and researchers in neutrino physics. It provides an intensive two-week-long learning experience in an open and interactive environment that covers the full range of modern neutrino physics.
The curriculum covers theoretical and experimental aspects of neutrino physics, including neutrino oscillations, accelerator and reactor neutrinos, solar and atmospheric neutrinos, neutrino cross sections, neutrino mass models, and neutrinos in cosmology and astrophysics. Students also engage in group projects and presentations, and have the opportunity to present an individual poster on their current research. Students are usually housed in a hotel close to the lab, and ample time is provided to meet and socialize with other students, and instructors, outside of scheduled school activities.
