  ​CERN, Geneva

  Inspire your young scientists with a school trip to CERN, where your students will explore the largest particle physics laboratory in the world!

  On an educational visit to CERN, a school science tour lasts three hours consisting of an introductory talk about CERN and a visit to two operational sites. These may be accelerators, control rooms, technical facilities, or high-technology workshops. You’ll also be able to explore the two permanent exhibitions, where you’ll see a scale version of the Large Hadron Collider.

  This is a truly inspiring and potentially life-changing trip for any aspiring scientist! Learn about fundamental research and see deep inside the world's largest particle physics laboratory.
