Ever wondered what goes on in the deep, dark depths of the Geneva research centre? Well, wonder no more because tonight we'll take you on a virtual reality tour of CERN. Get to explore the site where ground-breaking breakthroughs are made daily.

+ demonstrations, games and hands-on activities for you to enjoy and prizes to be won!

From Polymer Chemistry to Space Science via Hypervelocity Physics

Professor Steve Armes (Researcher, Polymer and Colloid Chemistry)

Professor Steve Armes will explore importance of collaboration between seemingly disparate scientific disciplines to advance fundamental knowledge of the Universe. He will discuss the synthesis and characterisation of microscopic polymer particles, what is meant by 'hypervelocity', and how space scientists can analyse the chemical composition of cosmic dust (including the dust found in Saturn's rings).

A virtual tour of CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Dr Scott Wilbur (Researcher, Experimental Particle Physics)

Helen Maguire (Researcher, Experimental Particle Physics)

Josh Puddefoot (Researcher, Experimental Particle Physics)

Lucy Lewitt (Researcher, Experimental Particle Physics)

Sean Lawlor (Researcher, Experimental Particle Physics)

Theo Zorbas (Researcher, Experimental Particle Physics)

Explore CERN and the ATLAS experiment in this talk and virtual tour through the particle physics research centre in Geneva. Led by Dr Scott Wilbur the talk will include a short VR tour through 100m underground below the Swiss countryside and into the cavern gives a glimpse into the life at CERN.
