VCI 2010 - Vienna Conference on Instrumentation
The Vienna Conference on Instrumentation (VCI) is among the most distinguished conferences on particle detectors and takes place now for the 12th time.
The first conference in this series was organized by HEPHY in 1978 under its former name Wire Chamber Conference. This means that experts on particle physics detectors meet in Vienna triennially already for more than 30 years. Between 15th and 20th of February 2010 almost 300 participants will report on new developments in this field by giving more than 70 talks and presenting more than 100 posters.

FEMtech makes successful women in technology-oriented research known to the public. Univ.Doz.Dr.DI Claudia-Elisabeth Wulz, responsible for the CMS Trigger Project at the Institute, was nominated by the FEMtech team and finally selected by an interdisciplinary jury.
In cooperation with the Academy for Gifted Children Lower Austria, our institute organizes a course for talented 8-12 year olds students on January 23rd. As a highlight, the children will analyze real data from CERN.
The Institute of High Energy Physics enables students to work a full summer at CERN, participating at one of the worlds largest and most ambitious Experiments.
