Here are some people in the class, sitting on the train, half way to Switzerland full of anticipation!

Next day we arrived at CERN and started with a lecture and a film about the particle accelerator. Raphael Noga, a Polish PhD student, took us on a guided tour, first to an exhibition and then to the CMS detector.

100 meters below the surface we were given the opportunity to take a closer look at the CMS detector. Our guide was Sasha Alexander, a Russian scientist.

At the mathematics institution at Göttingen university professor Brüdern gave us a lecture on platonic solids.

Laila Samuel, a German PhD student, showed us practical geometry using soap bubbles to demonstrate how nature always strives for a state of equilibrium.

After lunch at Mensan, Oscar Marmon, post doc in mathematics, took us on a guided tour around Göttingen showing us where the most famous mathematicians and physicists had lived. The tour finished off at the grave of Carl Friedrich Gauss.

The last night of our trip we had a meal together with Oscar Marmon and his family at Kartoffelhaus before boarding the train back to Sweden.

Filled with impressions and knowledge we returned home to Sweden again. We have made new contacts and gained new thoughts about how science unites people all across Europe.
