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 Group Visits
The University of Melbourne holds a Work Experience programme for students in year 10 (aged 15-16). Within this programme, we have a Particle Physics stream where students learn about the basics of Particle Physics. Also, they will complete tasks to learn about what it's like to be an academic and the career pathway of a Particle Physicist. We think it would be fascinating for the students to see the facility and talk to scientists at ATLAS.
Event organised by professor Eduardo Goulart for students in areas associated with physics of the Faculty Antonio Meneghetti.
The participants in this virtual visit are members of +Science 2.0 (an online science club organised by MAIS Startup) interested in learning more about particle physics and the work CERN has been doing with the ATLAS Experiment."

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.
