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.

Virtual Visit of the High School Arquitecto Oliveira Ferreira to the ATLAS Experiment. The visit will be coordinated by the professor Gabriela Peres (Portugal) and the researcher Denis Oliveira Damazio (BNL/CERN).
This ATLAS virtual visit is for the UK school students working with Oxford researchers on their research projects using the ATLAS OpenData.
The participants of this ATLAS Virtual visit are members of the Nanjing University doing their "Internship on Cloud" summer school
STFC apprentices, IP students and graduates will be ’virtually’ walking across Europe, virtually visiting sites linked to STFC/UKRI. To make the challenge more engaging and informative, there will be webinars providing an overview of the facility and science at each location as teams virtually reach them.
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.
