Key Educational Visits
CERN
There’s nothing quite like seeing physics in action to spark your students’ interest in science. The world’s largest particle physics laboratory will do just that, taking your students on a journey into science. Home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN your students will learn about this gigantic scientific instrument and be able to observe it from the viewing area.
Guided tours
Your group’s tour of CERN will follow a variety of themes (depending on the day) including ‘Detecting Particles’, ‘Discovering Antimatter’ or ‘The accelerators of the future’ and comprises an introduction, a short film and a visit to one of the experiments and/or to an accelerator located at the surface. All tours are guided by staff members involved with CERN.
Exhibitions
Groups can choose between two multimedia exhibitions -Universe of Particles - a fascinating look at the world of particles from the Big Bang to the present day, or Microcosm - students will explore the mysteries of the universe and discover the massive apparatus used by scientists. We can even book your groups' lunch in the CERN staff canteen

The History of Science Museum
Housing a collection of scientific instruments, this museum allows students to put today's science into perspective and better understand the evolution of certain disciplines and techniques such as astronomy, microscopy, gnomonic – the development of sundials and similar instruments, electricity and meteorology.
United Nations
A unique opportunity to see the United Nations at work, here your students will learn about the United Nations Office in Geneva through guided tours, presentations and observing working sessions in action.
The Museum of Natural History
This museum offers a fascinating insight into natural history and ecology. The display of life-size models highlights the great diversity of the world’s mammal, bird, reptile and insect population, as well as an overview of the history of Earth and the human race and geology of the Geneva region.
