The primary objective of the event is to raise young people's interest in science and show them the exciting career potentials that relevant studies offer. The Institute of Physics is offering members of the public talks, a mock class, guided tours and pop up stands presenting the activities of various research groups.
Furthermore, Ferenc Ignácz will welcome anyone interested to watch his spectacular experiments. Representing ELI ALPS, Zsolt Divéki will give an educational talk on "How the electron winks". Using VR goggles, visitors will be able to get inside our laboratories, and Focus, the interactive visitor space will also be open. The programme will feature the prize-giving ceremony for the best secondary school students and their teachers in the Budó Ágoston Physics Competition. Furthermore, the prizes for the best entries submitted to the "Art in Science Competition" will be awarded by our Science Director, Katalin Varjú.
