Structure
The lecture series is aimed at graduate students (PhD level) and post-doctoral researchers, but other participants are welcome. SuSi will enhance the SNOLAB research experience and contribute to an exiting summer. Participants will be offered five lectures in every two-week and otherwise have time to work on projects at SNOLAB.
There is a limited availability of seats in the program. Applications for the program will be accepted first, followed by a review period and then invitations to register for the program. Applications are due by April 22, 2024. This is extended from the original deadline thanks to additional inquiries about applying for the program.

Lectures begin the week of June 24, 2024 and conclude by August 16. The Tri-Institute Summer School on Elementary Particles (TRISEP, https://trisep.ca) will be hosted at SNOLAB/Laurentian University from July 8-19. SuSi lectures will pause during that period and participants in SuSi are invited and encouraged to apply for TRISEP as well.
