On 17 September, Italy’s National Institute for Nuclear Physics announced 17 school projects for 2026–2027. This is a programme announcement: activities and dates should be checked with each individual initiative. [1]
One route is Lab2Go. Secondary students help catalogue and improve their school laboratories, learning which experiments their equipment can support. Schools share the resulting documentation. [2]
Art&Science across Italy takes an artistic route into research. After educational sessions, groups of students develop artworks inspired by science. The organisers describe a programme lasting two years. [3]
The bright side
Making an artwork can also be a way into research: creativity becomes a starting point for exploring a scientific question. [3]
One idea, in simple words
Physics explores how nature works. On 17 September, INFN, an Italian research institute, presented 17 activities for schools. They are plans for the new school year: they have not all started yet. [1]
In Lab2Go, older pupils learn how to make better use of their school laboratories. To catalogue means to make an organised list of equipment and understand what each tool does. [2]
Another programme brings art and science together. Pupils first hear explanations and meet researchers, then make an artwork. Imagine this invented example: a sculpture representing a question that arose in a laboratory. To design it, you first need to understand what you want to explain. [3]
