In addition to national teacher programmes, CERN offers two 2-week international teacher programmes: The International High School Teacher (HST) Programme and the International Teacher Weeks (ITW) Programme. Both programmes are delivered entirely in English and are open to in-service science teachers from around the world. The goals of CERN’s international teacher programmes are:

• To support teachers’ professional development in the field of particle physics.
• To promote the teaching of particle physics in high schools.
• To facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience among teachers of different nationalities.
• To stimulate activities related to the popularisation of physics within and beyond the classroom.
• To help CERN establish closer links with schools all around the world.
