The Fourth High Energy Particle Physics in South Africa is taking place at the Stellenbosch Institute of Advanced Studies.
The HEPP workshop is now taking place at STIAS, at Stellenbosch University in the Western Cape. This is the fourth edict in of the HEPP workshop. We have seen a steady increase in the participation of students and senior researchers. Compared to the first edition in 2015 the attendance has increased by about a factor of two. The format of the workshop is such that mornings have lecture style presentations. The afternoons display selected presentations from students or groups of students.

Representing iThemba LABS, the host of the SA-CERN consortium, Dr. Mathis Wiedeking, addressed the audience. Dr. Wiedeking touched upon the history of the program and commended the large student participation.
Prof. Jean Cleymans, the Chairman of the SA-CERN consortium was invited to give an introductory lecture on the physics of the Heavy Ion collisions, including an overview highlights of results from the ALICE experiment at CERN.
Below is a group picture taken this morning during the first coffee break:
Below is Dr. Daniel Dercks, from the University of Hamburg, has invited to visit SA to give lectures on the state of the art books in High Energy Physics in the area of phenomenology.
