This annual event held at the University of Warwick forms part of the outreach activities of XMaS. This year, it benefitted from a wider press coverage.

It featured in the Coventry Telegraph. Ally Caldecote, Monica Ciomaga Hatnean and Natacha Borrel also took part in the the Vic Minett show on BBC radio Coventry and Warwickshire to advertise the event on Tuesday 29th January.

Thank you for the winners of the 2017 and 2018 XMaS Scientist Experiences who looked after the XMaS stand on that busy evening!

The competition is now open!

The trip will take place 30th June-4th July 2019. Students will experience what life might be like as an international research scientist. They will visit the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) and take part in the Synchrotron@School Programme.

Competition details for the 2019 edition of the XMaS Scientist Experience will be announced soon! Please keep checking our website for more information.

We are all back from Grenoble, where we had a great time. Thank you to all the people who helped make this trip memorable for our winners, and to the girls themselves, who were so enthusiastic about science!

We are looking forward to our reunion for the Student Showcase, which will take place at the University of Warwick on Wednesday 12th September 2018.

The winners have been announced. Information evenings will be held in Liverpool (8th May) and at the University of Warwick (23rd May). The 16 winners come from all over the country. Well done to them!

Watch the 2017 winners attending the Synchrotron@school programme with Yannick Lacaze in July 2017.

Following the XMaS Scientist Experience trip to Grenoble last July, the 2017 competition winners come to the University of Warwick to present their views on 'What Scientists Do'

Our winners are now back from Grenoble, where they were able to enjoy the XMaS Scientist Experience and the sunshine! Their feedback on the trip is very positive.

'Thank you so much for taking me on the trip it was amazing and I learnt so much!' Jasmine

'I found the whole experience invaluable, I learnt so much more physics than I would in probably a week's worth of lessons (or maybe more than that😅). I also admire how everyone became friends so easily- this was the first group of people I've met that share similar interests to me. I even found out that someone else is going to the same summer school as me so I'm less worried for that 😊.' Laura S.
