Between June 2nd -15th 2024, CERN Geneva unreeled the programme Romanian High-School Students Internship Programme 2024 (HSSIP – RO), dedicated to Romanian pupiled over the age of 16. CERN RTP is coordinated by the Faculty of Physics of the University of Bucharest together with the Horia Hulubei National Institute of Research-Development for Physics and Nuclear Engineering and the Education, Communication and Outreach CERN group.
The event brought together 24 high-schoolers admitted in the programme (from 350 eligible applications registered) and their professors, with trainers and researchers in the filed, thus aiming to create an intensive two-week experience in an open and interactive frame which included lectures, visits and experiments, including in the CERN Science Gateway educational labs.
The project was conceived to enable pupils to become familiar with introductive notions of the physics of elementary particles and high energies, and also with detectors from the LHC(Large Hadron Collider), having a direct interaction with CERN researchers.
At the same time, HSSIP – RO 2024 represented an occasion for pupils to get involved in group projects, which they had the chance to present at the end of the programme, but also to visit the main research facilities and CERN experimental labs, many of them unique in the world. The pupils had the special chance to attend lectures and interact with physicians with remarkable results and distinctions, including the Nobel Prize, some of them also visiting CERN.
More information, as well as the full program of the event, are available here.
The team that runs the Romanian Teacher Programme, coordinated by the University of Bucharest in collaboration with Horia Hulubei National Institute of Research-Development for Physics and Nuclear Engineering and ECO Group CERN, brings together researchers and teaching staff from different CERN teams, institutes and important universities in the country and abroad.
This year, the programme is financed through the CERN-RO module (PNCD IV – the Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitalization/ The Institute of Atomic Physics), project DUROCERN – Discover the Universe with Romania@CERN (DUROCERN), partnered by the Institute for Spatial Sciences –INFLPR branch, the Horia Hulubei National Institute of Research-Development for Physics and Nuclear Engineering, the University of Bucharest, Faculty of Physics (UB) and the National Institute of Research- Development for the Physics of Materials(INFM).
The national coordinator of CERN RTP is Roxana Zus, teaching staff at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Bucharest and designated representative of Romania to CERN Teacher and Student Forum. The team that contributed to the success of the program includes the researchers from Horia Hulubei National Institute of Research-Development for Physics and Nuclear Engineering: Călin Alexa, Marina Rotaru, Alexandra Tudorache, Valentina Tudorache, and teaching staff from the UB Faculty of Physics: Mădălina Boca, Andreea Croitoru, Mihaela Pârvu, Oana Ristea, and PhD student Ioana Duminică. The team was also supported by Raluca Sibinescu (UB), Andreea Cârstea (UB), Cristina Melinte (IFA) and the UB administrative staff.
The team coordinated by Călin Alexa and Roxana Zus continues to make efforts for the approval of an annual budget which would finance the three educational programs at CERN dedicated to teaching staff, students and pupils at high-school level.
Details about the previous editions of CERN educational programs and the results achieved are available here, here and here.
