Celebrating 70 years of CERN , Bonn and Siegen

On the occasion of the 70th birthday of CERN, the University of Siegen has invited students of upper secondary schools and their teachers to attend a theme day revolving around the institute and its research highlights. Besides games and expert talks by Prof. Dr. Alexander Lenz and CERN scientists, the celebrations included a poster and short-video contest for groups of up to four students with an excursion to CERN to win among other prizes. The amazing three winning contributions can be watched here.

Also in Bonn a programme was offered to celebrate 70 years of CERN. The programme spanned from particle physics shows and science slams to a symposium on CERN with birthday cake supply. More information can be found in this article published by the University of Bonn.
