Particle Physics Masterclass Network Workshop

Tuesday 9 Sept 2025, 09:30 → 16:10 Europe/London

IOP, Kings Cross, London

Andy Buckley (University of Glasgow (GB)), Darren Price (University of Manchester), Peter Millington (University of Manchester)

This one-day event is the second in a new initiative to share experience, ideas, and co-develop resources for particle-physics outreach.  The provisional programme can be found below.  The day will be framed around but not limited to the series of annual schools’ Masterclass events run by many HEPP groups across the UK and ROI.

We encourage all HEPP groups to send representatives to the meeting to report or present on successful outreach and Masterclass components, or to discuss how we can pool resources, and update and grow these initiatives in a more coordinated way.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided for registered participants. Please note that numbers are limited.

Please register below.

We gratefully acknowledge support and coordination by the IOP HEPP Group, and additional in-kind support from the IPPP.
