International Masterclasses in Serbia
17th Masterclasses 2021 (Belgrade, N. Sad, Niš, Kragujevac)

The International Particle Physics Masterclasses is Serbia are organized by Universities of Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš and Kragujevac, in conjunction with the International Particle Physics Outreach Group, and will be held on

  • Friday, March 19th (Novi Sad, Kragujevac)
  • Tuesday, March 23rd (Belgrade, Niš)

The aim of the Masterclasses is to introduce an exciting and rapidly developing scientific field dealing with some of the fundamental secrets of the nature to the 4th year high school students. The lectures given by active researchers and professors will bring insight into topics and methods of basic research of matter, particles and forces acting between them, thus enabling students to perform exercises with the real data from particle physics experiments performed at CERN, Geneva.

During the same day, students will be able to get a feeling of the university life and to experience at first hand some of research being performed at six Serbian scientific institutions: "Vinča" Institute of Nuclear Sciences, Faculty of Physics and Institute of Physics in Belgrade, Faculty of Sciences in Novi Sad, Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics in Niš, and Faculty of Sciences Kragujevac. At the end of the programme, students will also have an opportunity to take part in the videoconference and discuss results with other students and scientists across the world. This videconference will be mediated by scientists in CERN, Geneva.

Due to the COVID-91 pandemic, Masterclasses programme in 2021 will be organised virtually using the Zoom platform (both for lectures and for hands-on exercises). All the technical details will be communicated to the selected students in due time.

The IPPOG Masterclasses in Serbia in previous years

The Masterclasses Serbia programme has been organised in Serbia since 2009. The number of students and guests which are selected for the program is increasing each year, and last year there were about 250 participants attending the program at the universities of Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš and Kragujevac.

A short video report on the Masterclasses programme, compiled by the "Radio-Televizija Srbije" (RTS) in 2015, was presented in the scientific show "Kontekst 21". And here you can find a video report on the programme complied by the "Radio-Televizija Srbije" (RTS) in 2012, with the original RTS article being available here:
