The International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG)

IPPOG is a network of scientists, science educators and communication specialists working across the globe in informal science education and outreach for particle physics. Particle physics is the science of matter, energy, space and time. IPPOG brings new discoveries in this exciting field to young people and conveys to the public that the beauty of nature is indeed becoming understandable from the interactions of its most fundamental parts - the elementary particles.

Current members come from 22 nations, 4 experimental collaborations, and CERN. IPPOG representatives meet twice yearly to dsicuss best practices in particle physics education and outreach.
