Approximate gender balance/representation from all regions of Ukraine, 1 week. • Languages of the program: ukrainian or russian • Strong support from CERN in program organization. Thank you very much! • Strong support from Ukranian scientistes in CERN for lectures. • We are lacking Ukranian guides – trying to address this issue.
