Description
The main mission of IPPOG, the International Particle Physics Outreach Group, is to bring the excitement of particle physics to the public and especially to the young generatiοn. In the last years, IPPOG has undertaken to emphasize also the benefits to society from fundamental research. A tangible example is the particle therapy masterclass, an integral part of the masterclasses programme, which introduces high-school students to applications of accelerators in the fight against cancer. Another example is the effort of the working group “Outreach of applications for society”. Its objective is to create a collection of short stories, covering a wide spectrum of spin-offs from our field. The ultimate goal is to connect fundamental research to everyday life and provide a practical communication tool for the science outreach community.
