Science Programmes

What You Can Expect

science-imgECE are delighted to offer a unique science programme for students, one that combines exploration of the iconic cities of London, Paris and Geneva and their world famous attractions, with the chance to go behind the scenes of some of Europe’s most exciting scientific centres.

Visit leading scientific research and academic institutions, be an astronaut for the day at the Euro Space Center and spend a day at the World’s largest particle physics laboratory, CERN near Geneva exploring the mysteries of the universe with particle accelerators and detectors. Successful completion of the programme is rewarded with a Certificate of Achievement, but more than this are the insights and memories that you will take with you from this exciting, once in a lifetime programme, full of Enriching Cultural Experiences.

ECE is immensely proud to have organised The London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF) since 1959. LIYSF is an annual two week residential event held at Imperial College London, with insightful lectures and demonstrations from leading scientists, visits to industrial sites, research centres, scientific institutions and organisations, including world class laboratories and universities.
