International Cooperation and Education

The LHC project is an achievement in international cooperation as well as scientific collaboration. Approximately 10,000 people from almost 60 countries, including students from high school to graduate school, have contributed to the construction of the gigantic machine and its four experiments.

Education is a major component of LHC physicists' efforts. The excitement of the LHC and particle physics inspires young people to study and appreciate science. These students will eventually use their skills in many fields including science, education, industry, finance, and public policy.
