International Cosmic Day 2018 (ICD)

Thursday 29 Nov 2018, 09:00 → 17:00 Europe/Rome

Lab. Didattico 2028 (Dip. di Fisica, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, Edificio U2)

The International Cosmic Day (ICD) will bring students, teachers and scientists together to talk and learn about Cosmic Rays.

• What are cosmic particles?
• Where do they come from?
• How can they be measured?

During the ICD students will find answers to these questions carring out an own measurement and getting in contact with groups all over the world comparing and discussing the results. Students will work like a real scientist in an international collaboration.
