A Masterclass
Led by Senior Scientists at CERN

Spend a full week at CERN for an immersive learning experience curated by Global experts.

What is the Masterclass at CERN?

The Masterclass is an exclusive, one-week academic programme organised by Dr. Archana Sharma, Senior Scientist at CERN, along with fellow scientists in Geneva, Switzerland.

The certified programme brings together senior students from schools across South Asia for expert-led lectures, visits to CERN experiment sites, and hands-on certified workshops.

Every year, select students have the opportunity to participate in this extended training visit at CERN. This specialised visit goes beyond the public exhibitions and introduces students and teachers to the experiments and the scientists who are creating history.

Visit LIVE EXPERIMENT SITES and specialised research facilities.

Interact with GLOBAL EXPERTS in Cosmology, Antimatter, Super Symmetry and much more.

Learn about ENGINEERING, CRYOGENICS, GRID COMPUTING and Superconductivity.

BUILD YOUR OWN EXPERIMENT guided by experts.

More Than a Visit - A Transformation

The most complex engineering to study the most fundamental Physics, the biggest machines to collide the smallest particles – the juxtaposition is just startling!

Atharva Shukla The Doon School

All the scientists at CERN were so passionate and approachable. It was really inspiring and I came back with so much learning, not just about Science, but also about how to make teaching fun and engaging.

Vandana Banga The Heritage School

The trip showed me diverse fields of expertise like Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Data Computing and many more.

Anshul Rao DPS Bangalore South

This is a must for all Science lovers and for anybody who wants to learn more about the world. I am so inspired that I would like to come back someday and work alongside these amazing people.

Ananya Vinayak The Shri Ram School

We visited the antimatter factory and learned about the properties of this seemingly elusive substance with startling clarity. We even built our own cosmic ray detector using a few simple substances: dry ice, isopropyl alcohol, an anodised aluminium plate and a small open glass box.
