Korea Undergraduate / Graduate / H.S Science Program (KUSP)

IBS/CAPP at KAIST Munji Campus, June 27. Aug 3, 2018

The Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (CAPP) was established by the institute for Basic Science (IBS) at the KAIST campus in Daejeon of South in October 2013. Since then, CAPP has been building up strong experimental particle physics groups specialized in Axion dark matter and electronic dipole moment searches.

The Korea Undergraduate/Graduate/High School Science Program (KUSP) is a research-oriented summer program hosted by IBS/CAPP. The program was launched in the summer of 2015, and repeated for three years very successfully with participants from many different nations. IBS/CAPP will continue to offer the opportunity to a limited number of students in physics or related natural science disciplines from all around the world in summer of 2018, June 27 - August 3.

Selected students will participate the world-leading researches in IBS/CAPP based at KAIST Munji Campus. Students will find themselves working in a multicultural environment, which will extremely enrich personal experience.

Selected students will attend the research related lectures and join the day-by-day activities of the research team at the CAPP laboratory based at KAIST Munji Campus. Students will find themselves working in a multicultural environment, which will extremely enrich personal experience.

Though it will be held in Korea, KUSP is an international program and thereby the official language will be English.
