Masterclass ATLAS 2026 @ ICTP

Tuesday 3 Mar 2026, 09:30 → 19:30 Europe/Rome

Giambiagi and Eklund Lab (Adriatico Guesthouse AGH-ICTP)

Scientists for a Day: High School Students Engaging in Research at CERN

The International Masterclasses are an educational event first introduced in 2005, during the World Year of Physics, on the initiative of IPPOG (International Particle Physics Outreach Group), with the support of INFN, which coordinates the Italian Masterclasses.

Students will have the opportunity to work with real data from the ATLAS experiment to simulate, through guided exercises, the historic discovery of the Higgs boson. At the end of the day, they will take part in a videoconference with peers from around the world. 

This year, the Masterclass will take place at the ICTP and is organised by the Udine-ICTP ATLAS group with the HECAP section.
