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
This virtual visit is organised for the attendees of the school programme about nuclear fusion
Virtual Visit of participants from the Scientific Experience Event at the International Institute of Physics of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN/Switzerland. Students will be able to see parts of the detector as well as interact with experts in the field. The visit will be coordinated by professors Amadeu Albino Júnior (IFRN) and Fernando Wellysson de Alencar Sobreira and Klaus Werner Capelle (International Institute of Physics - UFRN) and researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL) in the ATLAS detector control room. Participants (students excelling in scientific activities) will be able to interact with the researcher in the detector operation room. The visit will take place on December 10th, at 3:00 pm (Geneva time) Visita Virtual dos participantes do evento Vivência Científica no Instituto Internacional de Física da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte ao Experimento ATLAS no CERN/Suiça.

A visita acontecerá no dia 10 de Dezembro às 11:00 da manhã (horário de Brasília).
La scuola organizza una visita virtuale al CERN (Organizzazione Europea per la Ricerca Nucleare), con l’obiettivo di approfondire e rendere più concreti alcuni concetti affrontati nel programma di Fisica. La visita rappresenta un’importante occasione per avvicinare gli studenti alla ricerca scientifica contemporanea e alla metodologia sperimentale.
The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) is a not-for-profit organisation that runs immersive programs to encourage young people to pursue their passion for STEM. Through our programs each year, we engage with 500+ high school students and early career STEM professionals from across Australia. Our flagship program, the NYSF Year 12 Program, takes place each January in Canberra and Brisbane, giving participants opportunities to engage in an exciting range of STEM visits, lectures, networking events and social activities.
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.
