The UK and Irish Teacher Programme 2027 will take place from 16-20 February 2027. Lectures, on-site visits, exhibitions, and hands-on workshops will introduce its participants to cutting-edge particle physics. We hope our participants will go back to the United Kingdom and/or Ireland as ambassadors, who pass on the subject to our next generation of physicists, engineers, IT specialists...

Extra information

The application process for the UK and Irish Teacher Programme 2027 are open until 3 December 2026.

 

Teachers from UK: Thanks to the generous support from OakNorth, all selected participants from the UK will have their living expenses (a single room at the on-site CERN hotel and all meals) fully covered by the CERN & Society Foundation.

Teachers from Ireland: There is no external financial support for Irish teachers at this time. Teachers therefore need to find their own funding for their travels, hotel (63CHF/night for a single room, already booked on CERN site) and meals (around 45-50CHF/day). For all information, please contact teacher.programmes@cern.ch.

Teachers from elsewhere: This programme is also open to external participants. However, you will have to secure your own funding for the programme (travel, hotel, and meals). The programme itself is free of cost. For further information, please contact teacher.programmes@cern.ch.
