International Masterclasses are organized by IPPOG, the International Particle Physics Outreach Group and the Planetarium Science Center, at the third and forth floating rooms in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Conferences Center. Each Masterclass is a one-day-activity taking place at a university or research institute. Researchers invite High school students, aged 16 – 19 and let them be scientists for one day. The core activity is a measurement with real data from CERN, provided by the experiments ATLAS, CMS, and ALICE, see: http://physicsmasterclasses.org/neu/index.php?cat=physics.

Astronomy is one of the few sciences where amateurs can conduct an active role, particularly in discovering and monitoring transient phenomena, such as comets, novae and supernovae. The Planetarium Science Center (PSC) will initiate the Amateur Astronomy Club (AAC), where the amateur astronomers can practice astronomy for interest and enjoyment, under the supervision of the PSC. The Program comprises 9 days within the period March 7th to April 27th, presented to youths of ages 10 – 16 years.

INSPIRE (INternational “Science Performance Is Ready” Event)

During the five day workshop, participants will very actively learn how to: choose a topic for the science show, start planning a science show, add humour without being silly, avoid mistakes and traps, engage audience in active participation, develop acting skills needed for successful performance, communicate Science.

This year Ljubljana Science Festival – Sciencetival will partly overlap with the INSPIRE workshop providing a perfect environment for the participants to test their learned skills in front of public.

The 32nd Edition of the Science & Technology Education and Communication meeting (JIES) will be held in Chamonix, France, from the 21st to the 24th of May 2013. This year's presentations will focus on Games and gaming in science education and communication. Organising association Traces has collected French-language papers and workshop proposals from researchers, teachers, educators, mediators, trainers, game creators and players...
