Description

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is not only a groundbreaking scientific facility but also a hub for international collaboration and knowledge exchange. Outreach, inspiration and education are some of the pilar missions of CERN, the LHC experiments are therefore committed to promoting global diversity and ensuring equitable access to scientific knowledge and opportunities worldwide. This contribution aims to highlight the outreach programs conducted by the LHC experiments, with a specific focus on activities and materials that hold immense value for Africa. These programs provide access to cutting-edge research facilities, science workshops and resources, remote access to LHC data, virtual lectures and webinars as well as access to collaboration platforms. They foster scientific curiosity, promote education and technology transfer to inspire the next generation of African scientists and researchers in the field of particle physics and beyond.
