CERN staff and users from across departments worked together to ensure the success of student experiments at the T9 beamline
After a week of shifts on the T9 beamline, two teams of high-school students are ready to analyse data from their CERN experiment
Physicists at CERN are busy preparing the T9 beam line to host experiments by the winners of the <em>Beamline for Schools</em> competition
The two student teams – from Greece and the Netherlands – will carry out experiments at CERN in September. Watch videos from their winning proposals
Education is a recurring theme of our 60th anniversary year, says CERN Director-General Rolf Heuer
With nearly 300 teams submitting proposals for the CERN “Beamline for Schools” competition, which one will win?
Over 1400 students in Spain have entered a CERN contest to explain how science and technology can make the world better. Vote for your favourites
With registration closed, the 455 teams must now make their case for why they should win the Beamline for Schools competition
With registration closing on 31 January, what would you do if you could conduct a real experiment on a CERN proton beamline?
For CERN’s 60th anniversary in 2014, the laboratory is offering a chance to high-school students worldwide to carry out an experiment at CERN
