1 Selected Outreach Activities in Norway 24 th EPPOG Meeting, Milan, 2.-3. June 2009 Farid Ould-Saada, Maiken Pedersen, on behalf of Norwegian Particle Physics Outreach Group

2 Outreach group •Outreach “committee” –Ingvil Bjørnes, Research Council Norway •EPPCN Norwegian representative –Bjørn Samset (UiO), Heidi Sandaker (UiB), •post-docs, HEPP project –Hilde Lynnebakken (UiO), Arve Aksnes (UiB) •outreach expertise  more practical work like translations of press releases from CERN, maintain contact lists, etc... •EPPOG –Farid Ould-Saada •Norwegian EPPOG representative and HEPP project leader – Maiken Pedersen (UiO), Katarina Pajchel (UiO), Therese Sjursen (UiB) •PhD students  Master classes and much more •And more occasional contributors –Eirik Gramstad (PhD, UiO), Lars Bugge, … (UiO), Anna Lipniacka (UiB), …

3 Science Fairs •A yearly national science festival •Aimed towards elementary school and general public •2008 participation with the following activities: –Science market in Oslo – Physicists explained the worlds mysteries and LHC  –Research project in Bergen with School (~12 year), they studied particles and forces between them •The mini Big Bang –Stand-up scientist in Oslo (evening show): •LHC, does it create doomsday? And if not what is the point? http://www.forskningsdagene.no/ Fair in Oslo

4  The EPF group in Oslo was responsible for the Physics Department booth during Oslo Science Fair, 19 – 20 Sept. 2008  Oslo Science Fair - part of the National Science Week in Norway  Title: What are you made of?  The booth was dedicated to LHC and ATLAS  Activity: we generated weight certificates telling what one is made of down to the most fundamental particles Science market in Oslo

5 5 Astrofestival • Yearly since 1999, November, project leader M.Baziljevich – Aimed primarily at children – Learn about the planets and stars • and all sorts of other exciting science • Physics, chemistry, biology – Roughly 6000 participants • Astrofestival 2008 – Departement of physics, UiO, presented the LHC experiment – LHC show – Particle Physics stand

6 2009 planned activities •Science market in Oslo –More about LHC and the worlds mysteries •Science market in Bergen – new –to be defined •Research project in Bergen –The Big Bang & CERN •Stand-up scientist Fair in Bergen
