Description
We have the pleasure to announce the IEEE NPSS Prague EduCom International Summer School (PEISS) 2025 that will be held at the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics, Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic from June 30th to July 11th, 2025.
It will draw on our extensive experience from past IEEE NPSS instrumentation schools held in Japan (2014), Vietnam (2016), South Africa (2018), Malaysia (2019), Senegal (2022) and Morocco (2024). These summer schools aim to familiarize students with real-world applications, their specificities, and constraints.
The proposed activity aligns with the NPSS Mission Statement: “To provide opportunities for scientific exchange and career development and to promote a diverse and inclusive community of nuclear and plasma scientists and engineers.” With its high-quality course program delivered by experienced lecturers, it will contribute to the education of students (both undergraduate and postgraduate) and the training of young researchers in the field of nuclear instrumentation and radiation measurement. Participants will also benefit from the Summer School by developing or expanding their professional network, particularly through encouragement to become active NPSS members.
This edition of the IEEE NPSS Summer School will run for eight full days of intensive learning, covering key topics related to nuclear radiation instrumentation, measurements, data analysis, statistics, AI, and their applications in fundamental sciences and nuclear medical sciences. Additionally, one full day is dedicated to a scientific excursion, and another one to cultural and touristic visits.
The main objectives of the school are:
- To train students in the field of radiation detectors and their applications.
- To support the development of nuclear sciences in Central European countries.
- To promote the participation of young scientists and local mentors in radiation measurements and related fields.
- To provide students with hands-on experience in various measurements and offer them the opportunity to present their results.
The number of students is limited to 32. Registration is open on the school website, where applicants must complete a form before the final selection. The school is open to all university students and students from engineering schools (Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD, and Medical Physics programs). The school fee is fully covered by IEEE NPSS EduCom.
