TYL Camp is a participatory event for high school girls, jointly planned by the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) and the bilateral exchange program “TYL Network*” between KEK and France, and co-hosted by Ochanomizu University and Nara Women's University.

Anyone interested in, considering, or unsure about pursuing a career in science is welcome to participate. We hope this school will deepen participants' interest in science and scientists.
We look forward to receiving many applications.

• Experience the excitement of science through hands-on experiments, lectures by leading female researchers, and guided tours of KEK's large-scale experimental facilities with researchers. Gain valuable opportunities to interact directly with women scientists working in these fields.
• Through group activities, you can discuss mutual interests, exchange information about school life, encourage one another, and expand your network of new friends with high school girls gathered from all over Japan.
• Interacting with young researchers, engineers, and female graduate students joining as teaching assistants will help you draw a concrete image of what it's like to study in science departments or research labs, campus life, and the work of researchers and engineers.

The France-Japan Particle Physics Laboratory (FJPPL) was established in 2006 by KEK, in Japan, and IN2P3/CNRS and IRFU/CEA, in France. The primary purpose of the Virtual Laboratory was to promote the Japan-France collaboration in the field of accelerator-related physics. This initiative has promoted joint research, researchers’ exchanges, and the development of young scientists, primarily in the field of particle physics.
TYL (Toshiko Yuasa Laboratory) is a nickname given in gratitude to Toshiko Yuasa, who was a researcher at CNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique), the first Japanese female physicist active in France and a great pioneer who played a significant role in strengthening friendly relations between researchers in Japan and France.
In 2023, following the signing of the “CNRS-KEK International Research Laboratory - Toshiko Yuasa Laboratory” agreement between CNRS and KEK and the commencement of real laboratory operations, activities such as cooperation with the TYL Camp were transferred to the “Toshiko Yuasa France-Japan Particle Physics Network” (commonly known as the TYL Network).
