EDUCATION

HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS Programme
The HST Programme is funded by CERN and is organised in the context of the educational outreach programme of the Directorate Services Unit Education Group. Since 1998, CERN has been organising a yearly 3-week summer residential programme for high school physics teachers throughout the world. It's an opportunity for physics teachers to meet, network, and update their knowledge of particle physics, its associated technologies and related subjects. It also aims at providing teachers with the newest trends and directions of research in the area of physics
3-DAY Programme
This programme consists of lectures and guided tours during a three day conference from Thursday to Sunday, organised and presented in English. It is designed to provide an overview about contemporary particle physics and give a valuable experience for physics teachers.
National Teacher Programmes
The National Teacher Programmes are held in the mother tongue language of the participants from CERN member states.
Hands on Particle Physics
This program is organized by the European Particle Physics Outreach Group. Each year about 4000 high school students in 20 countries come to one of about 70 nearby universities or research centres for one day in order to unravel the mysteries of particle physics. Lectures from active scientists give insight in topics and methods of basic research at the fundaments of matter and forces, enabling the students to perform measurements on real data from particle physics experiments themselves. At the end of each day, like in an international research collaboration, the participants join in a video conference for discussion and combination of their results.
