Details
The information provided in this guidance document is to assist the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) summer school course organisers with school planning.
It gives specific guidance around:
- equality, diversity and inclusion
- programming
- content
- administrative information
The summer school must align with the STFC core science programme, which includes:
- astronomy
- particle physics
- nuclear physics
- accelerator science
Even though we are currently only supporting the core summer schools, it is important that organisers clearly demonstrate how their programme aligns with STFC’s core science remit.
The programme should be designed to address key STFC scientific questions and contribute meaningfully to the development of expertise in these areas.
To ensure wide accessibility and impact, the content should be broad enough to appeal to a diverse cohort of students across the STFC community, while maintaining scientific depth and relevance.
