USEFUL LINKS

  • science gateway visit: Admission to Science Gateway is free, but registration is required. For groups (12 to 48 visitors), online registration is mandatory, up to 9 months in advance. Only exhibitions, guided tours, and lab workshops can be booked in advance. Additional activities and events, such as science shows and film screenings, may be offered daily.
  • atlas virtual visit: a live video connection by a group (typically a classroom) to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN. A guide, who is a scientist or an engineer working on the experiment, meets visitors from the control room, or from the detector cavern (during planned LHC shutdowns). 
  • ATLAS detector cavern visit in person: possible only during the lhc shutdown periods. please read the visitor safety rules carefully before making the booking.
  • International Masterclasses: The program engages physicists from different collaborations at different institutions to provides teaching and learning opportunities to students all over the world. there is a video conference session, during which, students can get insight into topics and methods of basic research at the fundamentals of matter and forces, and perform measurements on real data. physicists moderate the discussion with the use of web-based video tools, and offer out-of-the-classroom experiences.
  • Beamline for school program: a physics competition for high school students from all around the world organised at CERN and DESY in Hamburg, Germany. Teams of high school students can propose an experiment that they want to perform at a beamline, that is, a part of a particle accelerator. The teams that submit the three best proposals win a trip to CERN or DESY to perform their experiments at a fully-equipped beamline.
  • Lab workshops at Science Gateway: there are Workshops for families and individual visitors of all ages and abilities to get hands on with science and technology. Each workshop lasts 45 minutes and welcomes up to 24 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-booked workshops for school groups cover a wide range of topics, from the basic principles of particle detection to the use of robots in science.
  • science shows at science gateway: science in real life in a theatre-style setting are delivered by members of CERN’s scientific community and cover everything from states of matter and levitation to electromagnetism and the Universe.
