International Masterclasses provide a unique opportunity for High school students to be "scientists for a day". 16- to 19-year-old students in 60 countries around the whole world are invited to one of about 220 nearby universities or research centers for one day in order to take part in an authentic research process. They hear lectures from active scientists and gain insight into topics and methods of basic research into the fundamentals of matter and the forces. Thus prepared, students perform measurements themselves on real data from particle physics experiment CMS at the LHC. At the end of day, up to five student groups join in a videoconference with CERN for discussion and combination of their results.

In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.
Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.
