National Teacher Programmes
National Teacher Programmes give science teachers the opportunity to spend a week at CERN, learn about the latest developments in particle physics and connect with teachers from their country or language community.
Spend up to a week at CERN exploring particle physics, meeting researchers and connecting with teachers who speak the same language.
Who can participate in National Teacher Programmes?
CERN’s National Teacher Programmes are generally open to teachers who:
- are actively teaching (in-service teachers),
- teach a STEM subject,
- speak the language of the selected national teacher programme, and
- who want to learn more about particle physics and CERN
Individual national teacher programmes can have additional criteria. Feel free to contact us for more information.
How does a National Teacher Programme look like?
Lectures by experts in the field of particle physics and engineering.
Site visits to CERN facilities, guided by CERN scientists and engineers.
Hands-on workshops, developed by the CERN Education group.
Social events to build strong networks with teachers from your country.
