ATLAS Virtual Visits
A Virtual Visit is a live video connection by a group (typically a classroom) to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN. A guide, who is a scientist or an engineer working on the experiment, meets visitors from the control room or (during planned LHC shutdowns) from the detector underground.
During a Virtual Visit, guides will
- Introduce themselves and describe their work in particle physics.
- Present CERN, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the ATLAS experiment, including its goals and accomplishments.
- Invite questions from the audience.
We recommend audiences prepare questions ahead of time. This can be facilitated by viewing this introductory video.
Group Virtual Visits
Groups of at least 10 visitors (such as classrooms) can schedule their own visit by completing this form.
Upcoming Virtual Visits
Virtual Visit of the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina State to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN/Switzerland. The students will be able to view parts of the detector as well as interact with experts on the field. The visit will be coordinated by Professor Nelson Barelo in Brazil and Researchers Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL) and Luciano Manhães de Andrade Filho (UFJF) in the ATLAS Control room on October 28th, 15:00.

Year 12 students who have studied particle physics. To get greater understanding of what happens at cern and potentially the variety of careers there.
Virtual Visit to the ATLAS Experiment with Kultur Koleji and Kultur 2000 Koleji students and teachers. Participants will explore the ATLAS Experiment remotely, learn about particle physics, and interact live with CERN scientists.
Students of the 2nd Gymnasio Rethymnou will participate in a virtual visit to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN. This activity serves as an introduction before the upcoming school visit to CERN, offering students a first insight into particle physics, the role of the ATLAS detector and the importance of international scientific collaboration. This virtual visit aims to inspire curiosity about science and motivate students to explore careers in physics and technology.
Open Virtual Visits
We also schedule periodic open visits that can be joined by individuals or small groups. You can find them in the list on this page. Select the Open Virtual Visit of the date/time/language that best fits, click on it and register.
