ABOUT ACADEMIC TRAINING
The CERN Academic Training lectures take place from September to June and provide CERN members - any contract type - with opportunities to deepen and broaden their academic knowledge. The lectures cover physics and technology research results, as well as leading-edge news from other disciplines. Past lectures often present a great historical value. The lectures are open to all members of CERN personnel (staff, fellows, associates, students, users, project associates and apprentices) free of charge.
The Library has a collection of all the handouts since the start of the program in 1961. Most lectures from 1990 onwards have also been recorded. The complete catalogue of the Academic Training Programme lectures is archived since 1968. Since 2018 we can upload selected lectures in a dedicated YouTube playlist.
Please contact atc-members@cern.ch with suggestions and visit our dedicated website.

 Fresh results (and surprises) from the James Webb Space Telescope / Fontana, Adriano (speaker) (INAF Rome Observatory)
In less than three years since the release of the first data, the James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionised our knowledge and understanding of the Universe. My talk will be a non-specialist review of the concept and current status of the mission, that is designed around an innovative technology combining unprecedented collecting area and IR sensitivity,  and of some of the latest results, covering a wide range of topics from the exploration of our solar system, the atmosphere of exoplanets and the search for extraterrestrial life, the evolution of galaxies and black holes in the young Universe.

 Signals, Noise and Signal processing in Particle Detectors / Riegler, Werner (speaker) (CERN)
These lectures discuss the basic processes that give rise to signals in particle detectors. The first lecture will summarize the main points from the 2019 lecture series on this topic (https://indico.cern.ch/event/843083/) and will discuss further extensions of the Ramo-Shockly theorem  that are valid for the full extent of Maxwell’s equations without limitation to weak conductivity and can be e.g [...]

Gravitational Wave Astronomy / Domcke, Valerie (speaker) (CERN)
Abstract:The recent discoveries at LIGO/Virgo and pulsar timing arrays have opened a new window to study our universe: gravitational wave astronomy. These observations have shed new light on our understanding of black holes and neutron stars, teaching us about the evolution of stars and galaxies as well as probing fundamental laws of physics.
