The Call for Proposals 2026 for the CERN TIMEPIX@school programme is now open!

TIMEPIX@school is a new CERN-led initiative supported through the CERN & Society Foundation that brings Timepix-based detectors, developed within the CERN Medipix2 Collaboration, into classrooms worldwide.

Launched in the 2026-2027 academic year, the programme will be based on a coordinated network of regional hubs located in schools, universities, institutes, or research centres. Particular emphasis will be placed on reaching schools in underserved and underrepresented communities, and engaging female students.
