In 2001 the European Physical Society (high energy physics section) instituted a
new prize for outreach activities. This demonstrates a breakthrough and recognition
of scientific outreach activity on the international level.
Outreach Prize Award 2001
The prize was awarded the 16 July at the Conference on High
Energy Physics in Budapest, Hungary to:
|
Dr. Christine Sutton (Oxford University) and
Prof. Erik Johansson (Stockholm University)

For their
innovative use of electronic and printed media to bring HEP to wider
public, including professional colleagues, students and schools, and in particular

My talk at the conference was entitled “Quarks, Leptons and Galaxies for
Students” and described how the two standard models - The Big Bang model
and the Standard Model - could be presented to interested students using
the Hands on CERN education project and our 2.3 m radio telescope.
