In the first weeks of September, the EPPG group had the pleasure of hosting the BND Graduate School 2024 in Blankenberge. This annual event brings together early-career PhD students in particle and astroparticle physics for an intensive week of lectures, discussions, and collaborative projects. The program offered a diverse range of expert-led courses and provided the participants with opportunities to exchange knowledge and connect with fellow young researchers from across the region.
The school concluded with a highlight: students presenting the collaborative projects they had been working on throughout the week. The projects ventured beyond their own research domains, such as luminosity measurements, scale variation calculations, gravitational wave analysis, and future collider physics.
