IEEE-NPSS School on Nuclear Instrumentation and Applications for Society

3 Dec 2025, 09:00 → 5 Dec 2025, 23:15 America/Mexico_City

The IEEE-NPSS School on Nuclear Instrumentation and Applications for Society will cover the application of nuclear  instrumentation and technology in energy and medicine. It will be held at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México December 3/4/5 2025 

The program will consist of a series of lectures (some in-person, some online) and practical exercises with radiation measurements.  Please see the timetable for more details. Some lectures will be in English, some lectures will be in Spanish.

The school is open to students (master and PhD) from science and engineering. The number of participants is limited. You need to apply using link the bottom of this page. Deadline is October 31, 2025.

We have some funds available to support travel for participants from outside Mexico City. You can apply for support during your application.
