Experiment Proposal Prizes
BL4S 2025

All participants

All participants will receive a digital certificate of participation in the BL4S 2025 competition.

3 winning teams

Two winning teams will be invited to spend approx. two weeks at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, to conduct their proposed experiments. One winning team will be invited to conduct its experiment at DESY in Hamburg, Germany, for a similar duration. BL4S will cover the full costs of the winners' stay at CERN or DESY, including travel, accommodation at CERN or DESY, and meals. Before their arrival, the winning teams will have the unique opportunity to work together with scientists to optimise their proposed experiment.

Up to 50 shortlisted teams

Beside the winning teams, up to 50 teams will be shortlisted, that is, included in a list of best experiment proposals. These teams will receive special prizes that may include a portable particle detector for their school and BL4S T-shirts for each team member.

3 best video awards

The teams submitting the 3 best video proposals of their experiment will receive a special award that may include a portable particle detector for their school and a BL4S T-shirt for each member.

15 best outreach awards

In 2025, the organisers of the “Stars Shine For Everyone” (SSVI) project will award optical telescopes to the BL4S teams submitting the 15 best outreach proposals. Would your team like to win one of these telescopes? If yes, check out the outreach proposal prizes!
