Why is CERN important to me?

You and your students are invited to a briefing from Brunel academics who have been working on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to find out -

• What is CERN?
• Why is the Large Hadron Collider research so important to Physics, Engineering, and Computing?
• Has the Higgs Boson definitely been discovered and is it really the 'God Particle'?
• Will the findings make the world a better place and any difference to our lives?
• How has it been possible to get scientists from 113 countries to work together?
• Who pays for the Large Hadron Collider?
• What happens next at CERN?

In an engaging and non-technical series of talks and questions and answers, leading academics from Brunel who have been involved in the remarkable scientific breakthroughs at CERN will answer these and any other questions you may have concerning the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project.

This is a unique opportunity to understand the significance of CERN from those who are directly involved and who are deeply committed to spreading the word about just how important the LHC project is.

This event is designed for a broad audience: interested school, college, and university students; curious individuals and businesses; and experts in other fields who would like to know more about CERN but have so far been too afraid to ask!

The event will also be an opportunity to congratulate the colleagues at Brunel for the impressive part they have played at CERN to change scientific understanding of the world in which we live.

The event will be followed by networking and refreshments and the opportunity to meet with those involved with the project.
