CERN visit
We will have our annual student visit to CERN also in 2019.
The trip will take place from 30 September to 2 October 2019 and all students (40 in total) will share a bus to get to Geneva and back. All students will stay in a youth hostel in Geneva. Bus, hostel and visit expenses are covered by the Faculty of Physics. Students will have to cover expenses for food and drinks themselves.
We'll give out places (40 in total) on a 'first come, first served' basis! Only students registered at the Faculty of Physics at LMU Munich can take part in this trip and preference will be given to people that haven't taken part in a previous trip. Please fill the registration form here (only if you can make it).
As will be crossing the border to Switzerland/France, students have to bring their ID card or passport onto the trip.
