Students from schools in London and Stockholm are having first-hand experience of international scientific collaboration when they work together on projects at the CERN laboratory in Geneva this week (15-20 March 1999).

Sixth-form students from Cranford Community School in London and the Skarholmen Gymnasium in Stockholm are working together on projects at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland. This is the first time that two schools from different countries have collaborated on a joint visit.

Dr Erik Johansson of the University of Stockholm devised the scheme. A physicist working on the DELPHI and ATLAS experiments at CERN, he believes that school students should not only look at experiments when they visit CERN, but should also experience international collaboration - the vital ingredient that makes CERN successful.
