Engaging Young Minds with Particle Physics
The Outreach team at Münster University identified that in Germany, students usually decide whether or not to continue their physics education around the age of 15. To address the problem, they focused on students aged 10 to 15 to give them a real insight into particle physics research. They also created the Y-Phi (Young Physicists)…

Particle Physics Masterclass for non-scientific Personnel
The project is based on the fact that 97% of CERN’s staff are non-scientists. The goal is to adapt the masterclass intended to students, for non-scientific personnel, to offer then get hand-on experience and insight into the work of their scientists colleagues. These sessions improve their capacity to support the organization’s mission and outreach.
