Conferences
School video conference
In 2003 we organised a virtual visit of 200 students from various Irish schools, North and South
of the border, to CERN, via a multi-way video conference. They heard brief presentations from
the beam control room, and then posed questions directly to the scientists there.
A report of the student invasion made it to the front page of the CERN bulletin!
or if you prefer you can read it in French! or in the 'Irish universities promoting science' bulletin
