All BL4S Editions
The first edition of the Beamline for Schools competition took place in 2014, on the occasion of the CERN’s 60th anniversary. The idea was to make a fully equipped beamline available for high-school students to run an experiment in the same way that the laboratory’s researchers do.
For the first time, the laboratory was offering a chance to high-school students worldwide to carry out an experiment at CERN as if they were real researchers working on a real proton beamline. In 2019 during a long shutdown period of the CERN accelerators, a fruitful collaboration between CERN and DESY started. Since its beginning the past editions of BL4S met a great success.
