2. International Masterclasses Key activity of IPPOG Since 2005  2014: 10 th IMC High school students are „scientists for one day“

3. Concept of IMC Every year in spring High school students (15 – 19) are „scientists for one day“ Get invited to a research institute or university Introductory talks (standard model, detectors, accelerators) 2 h measurement with real LHC data from different exp. International video conference ( 2 – 5 inst. + CERN/Fermilab)

4. International Masterclasses 2014 37 countries, 160 institutes in 2013 Continous expansion: America, Asia Firenze, Pavia (IT) Warsaw Technical University (PO) Waterford (IE)

8. External Communication / Media Press release English/German (incl. section for local activities) Spread via institutes, National responsibles, DESY, interactions.org, … For media coverage see: www.physicsmasterclasses.org/index.php?cat=p ress

9. External Communication / Media Facebook > 1300 likes, few posts Very little time to manage Attracts people more generally interested in HEP

10. How can EPPCN help? lots of stories to tell: –2014: 10 th International Masterclasses –Worldwide spread –Bringing together e.g. Palestine and Israel in a program –High school students re-discover the Higgs (Nobelprize 2013) –… Coordination with press release … And: Can IMC help EPPCN?
