Any recommended summer school for high energy physics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding summer programs focused on High Energy Physics (HEP) for undergraduate students. The original poster is seeking opportunities similar to the Santa Fe Institute's summer program on complex systems. Participants highlight the challenge of finding suitable programs, as many are designed for graduate students. Suggestions include the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in the US, which is limited to US citizens and permanent residents, and CERN's offerings for EU students. Additionally, the ICTP in Trieste, Italy, is recommended for students from developing countries. The conversation emphasizes the importance of specifying interests in theory versus experiment and the need for geographical context when searching for programs.

Hi guys, my school will offer me an amount of money to have a summer exchange to do anything academic-related. I would like to apply for a summer school on HEP. Do there exist institute that offer summer program which specialized in HEP in the way similar to how Santa Fe Institute offer summer program on complex system?
Btw, I am an undergraduate student who would like to make research on particle physics and string theory in the future

Most of the organized schools I'm familiar with are geared toward graduate students. It would help to know if you are interested in theory or experiment. Also, your country of origin, or at least US/EU/developing country if you're unwilling to disclose too much personal data. For instance, in the US, there is something called Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), but I believe that it is limited to US citizens and permanent residents. For EU, CERN might have something and for developing countries you could try the ICTP in Trieste, Italy.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
