One of the world’s important centres of science and innovation,

Geneva is also a charming lakeside town with a fascinating

history. The tour focuses on CERN, where they operate the

famous Large Hadron Collider, and Mont Blanc to investigate

receding glaciers and what they reveal about history.

Accompanied by writer and science journalist Laura Spinney

and particle physicist and STEM ambassador Darren Price. 

“I feel enormously privileged to be able to talk about the one

silver lining of climate change: the fact that the receding glaciers

are revealing traces of our past and teaching us more about

where we came from and who we are. We’ll visit France’s largest

glacier, La Mer de Glace, which has been shrinking at an

unprecedented rate.” Laura Spinney

“Right now is an amazing time to tour CERN because there is

the unique opportunity to go underground and see one of the

detectors first-hand. This will only be possible for a few months,

then the detector will be closed for operations until 2025. I’m

excited to share this chance to see first-hand the things we do

that seem like science fiction!” Darren Price

Last few places left

USA

Explore the race for space across the USA with this

comprehensive tour of four NASA space centres and other

key sites. Accompanied at Kennedy by Sarah Cruddas, author

and space journalist. Including a visit to Virgin Galactic, the

world’s first commercial spaceport, and the Very Large Array

in stunning New Mexico.

“We are entering into a new era in space

exploration, one which will see space no longer

just be a place to go, but an extension of life

itself. But no matter where we go or what we

do, we will forever be standing on the shoulders

of the giants who made going to space possible.

I am looking forward to sharing the story of how

we got to space, and inspiring other guests about

the possibilities to come.” Sarah Cruddas
