4th International Particle Physics Masterclasses 2008

22nd Meeting - 18 April, Prague, Czech Republic: Organization information

 

International Particle Physics Masterclasses

Each year over 4000 high school students in 20 countries all over the world come to one of over 70 nearby universities or research centres for one day in order to unravel the mysteries of particle physics.

Lectures from active scientists give insight on 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.
