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
live link will be between 22h and 23h55 because of time difference - sorry so late! - for the ATLAS Muon Small Wheel Board Workshop.
This visit is scheduled as part of the International Particle physics Masterclasses, hosted by the Planetarium science center for school students.
This Virtual Visit is organised for students in the final class of high school education, just a few weeks before the final examination.
One element of a one-day Particle Physics Masterclass specifically designed for sixth form students and their teachers and run at the University of Manchester by practising researchers from our Particle Physics Group.

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.
