CNA launches a call for participants to the “4th Competition for the Promotion of Scientific Culture”
The oPAC partner Centro Nacional de Aceleradores (CNA) has launched a call for participants in the fourth edition of its Competition for the Promotion of Scientific Culture.
The goals of this competition, sponsored by Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum, are to promote scientific vocations among young people, to bring science closer to Society, and to raise public awareness about the importance of scientific research.
The call is addressed to the general public, researchers in training (PhD students), undergraduate students, or any person interested in scientific research.
The topic of the competition is Experimental Science and Technology of Particle Accelerators. In order to participate, the contestants must submit a maximum of two videos describing an experiment related to nuclear physics, particle accelerators, radiation detectors, or any other area related to the topic of the competition. Very importantly, the experiments must be original, and the video, showing the design, construction, and operation of the experiment, must be posted on YouTube. The application for the competition will include a link to the video and a text describing the experiment in an accessible way. The first prize will be a laptop.
