Description
μNet (microNet) is a nationwide network of cosmic-ray detectors operating in high schools and educational institutions across Greece. The project aims to bring modern astroparticle physics closer to students and teachers through hands-on activities, real experimental data, and participation in authentic scientific procedures.
This contribution presents the current status of the μNet network and its educational and outreach activities. We also discuss recent and planned upgrades designed to enhance both its scientific and educational capabilities. These include the deployment of remotely operated muon telescopes and the planned integration of radio antennas based on technologies developed for the GRAND experiment. The new instrumentation will allow students and teachers to explore modern particle- and radio-detection techniques used in contemporary cosmic-ray and ultra-high-energy neutrino research.
By combining particle, muon, and radio detectors within a common educational framework, μNet is evolving into a unique platform that connects science education, outreach, and modern astroparticle physics research.
