The EEE Project joins the European Researchers’ Night through the “SocietyNext” initiative and will participate with a virtual stand on polarquEEEst with a live stream starting at 7:30 PM. Once registered on the portal, our virtual stand is directly accessible at the link.
Everyone is invited to join!
PolarquEEEst: the measurement of cosmic rays at the North Pole.
What can be more fascinating than a journey through the ice of the North Pole to discover unique landscapes and spectacular nature? What if the trip is also an opportunity for a study on cosmic rays in regions were few measurements have been performed? What if european high school students are involved in this adventure? This is the PolarquEEEst experiment which is taking data at Ny Alesund (Svalbard) scientific base since more than one year.
The PolarquEEEst project was born within the “Extreme Energy Events – science in the hearts of young people” Project, on the occasion of the PolarQuest 2018 expedition to the North Pole 90 years after Umberto Nobile’s undertaking.
Live broadcast on Zoom at 19.30 alternating a session (30 minutes) in which researchers and students will talk about their work within polarquEEEst (with the possibility of asking questions through the chat) and a free session of questions / videos on the expedition (30 minutes).
19.30-20.00 presentation of PolarquEEEst activities by researchers and students
20.00-20.30 questions to researchers / video about the expedition
20.30-21.00 presentation of PolarquEEEst activities by researchers and students
21.00-21.30 questions to researchers / video on the expedition
Report form the schools:
