Jun 3, 2024 Report on Summer School 2024 at Fermilab

Computational HEP 2024 summer school participants and instructors.

The DOE Computational HEP training programs combined again for the 2024 summer school, this year at Fermilab. The sessions held May 20-24 introduced hands-on systems administration workshops, high-performance computing lectures, and career panel discussions.

Apr 15, 2024 WATCHEP 2024 Summer School at Fermilab The WATCHEP 2024 Summer School will be held May 20-24, 2024 at Fermilab as a joint event with the TAC-HEP, C2-THE-P2, and LGT4HEP training programs supported by DOE Office of High-Energy Physics. Students in the training program will follow lectures and gain experience with hands-on exercises with university and DOE lab mentors.

Mar 30, 2024 Announcing the second cohort of WATCHEP student trainees We are excited to announce the second WATCHEP training cohort, for the period 2024-2026. A total of six students were selected in a competitive process that took into account their proposed research, community engagement, initiative, and leadership.
