Description
The pillar for outreach in particle physics is IPPOG, the International Particle Physics Outreach Group. IPPOG is a network of scientists, science educators and communication specialists working across the globe in informal science education and public engagement for particle physics. Its flagship activity is the International Particle Physics Masterclasses programme, to which the Worldwide Data Day has been added. Activities related with cosmic rays, such as the International Cosmic Day and International Muon Week are also promoted and supported by IPPOG. Members of IPPOG also participate in a wide range of events: public talks, festivals, exhibitions, teacher training, student competitions, and open days at local institutes. A resource database has also been developed containing a wealth of material for the dissemination of particle physics. In this presentation the history and evolution of IPPOG will be presented briefly, and its various activities will be discussed.
