The difference between Particle Therapy Masterclass and Particle Physics Masterclasses
The Particle Therapy Masterclasses are part of International Masterclass Program.
But what's make the particle therapy masterclasses different from the others?
The Particle Therapy Masterclass is a specialised program aimed at educating participants about the intricacies of using particle therapy in cancer treatment. This masterclass focuses on the underlying physics, treatment methodologies, and clinical applications of proton and ion therapy. Participants engage with leading experts in the field, exploring case studies, treatment planning, and the latest advancements in particle therapy technology.
During the hands-on sessions: participants gain practical experience through simulations and treatment planning exercises.
Emphasis is placed on translating theoretical knowledge into clinical practice, enhancing participants' understanding of how particle therapy is implemented in medical settings.
Particle Physics Masterclasses
The International Masterclass Program offers a broader perspective on particle physics, engaging students from around the world in hands-on experiments and discussions related to current research in the field. This program is designed for high school and university students, providing them with a unique opportunity to delve into the world of particle physics through collaboration and experimentation.
In general, in the International Masterclass Program, students from various countries come together to participate in a shared experience, fostering international collaboration and cultural exchange. They receive mentorship from experts, allowing them to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions about ongoing research and the significance of their findings.
In summary, while the Particle Therapy Masterclass focuses specifically on the applications of particle therapy in cancer treatment, the Particle Therapy Masterclass provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practices of particle physics. Both initiatives play an important role in educating and inspiring the next generation of scientists.
