Step 1: Important information

This form should be completed by the hub coordinator, who will act as the main contact person with the TIMEPIX@school team.

We strongly encourage all applicants to carefully read the Call for Proposals page in full before starting this application form. It contains essential information about eligibility criteria, project expectations, timelines, and submission requirements. Upon selection, successful hubs will be required to sign an agreement outlining the terms and conditions of participation in the TIMEPIX@school programme. This document will specify roles and responsibilities, loan conditions, detector use, as well as data management and protection.

We value clear, concrete, and context-specific responses. Please refer to your educational context and describe examples that reflect how the project would be implemented in your partner schools.

At the end of each step of the application, you will have the option to save your progress, allowing you to complete the form at a later time if needed. Please note that any saved information will be evaluated by the TIMEPIX@school team only when and if the application is formally submitted. Submission is possible only upon completion of all required steps.

In case of any problems with the application process, please contact us.

If helpful, we also provide a preview version of the form to give you full visibility of all application steps and questions. In contrast to the official application form, fields are not mandatory in the preview form, allowing you to navigate freely through all sections.

Step 4: Planned educational activities

At this stage, we do not expect fully developed activities. You are encouraged to outline initial ideas, which can evolve during implementation. Proposed activities should be adapted to the age group, both in terms curriculum alignment and the level of student autonomy.

10-12 y.o.

13-15 y.o.

16-18 y.o.

10-12 y.o. group

Type of planned activities (multiple choice):

Integrated into classroom lessons

Project-based learning / student research projects

Other (please specify)

Other type of activity

Level of integration

Teacher-led demonstration

Student-led experimentation

13-15 y.o. group

Type of planned activities (multiple choice):

Integrated into classroom lessons

Project-based learning / student research projects

Other (please specify)

Other type of activity

Level of integration

Other type of activity

Level of integration

Teacher-led demonstration

Student-led experimentation

Number of kits requested (up to 10)

Please explain how the requested number aligns with your planned activities and the number of participating schools and classes. If relevant, describe how the kits will be shared or circulated between schools at different times during the academic year (e.g. through a lending or rotation system). (max. 1000 characters)

Please provide an estimate of the number of teachers, classrooms, and students to use the kits during the academic year. Note that this information is used for contextual understanding and will not be used as a selection criterion. (max. 500 characters)

Step 5: Motivation and vision

Please describe one concrete situation in your partner schools where the Timepix kit would make a meaningful difference for students. What would students do in this situation, and what would be different compared to what is currently possible? (max. 1000 characters)

Please describe an activity or approach that might meaningfully engage TIMEPIX@school priority groups, particularly female students and students from underserved communities. You may wish to explain how the activity could support participation, interest, or a sense of belonging to students. (max. 1000 characters)

Step 6: Implementation plan

We recognise that plans may evolve once you have access to the detectors. At this stage, we value feasibility, motivation and potential.

Please outline the main phases of your planned activities across the academic year (e.g. adaptation or translation of resources, preparation, classroom implementation, student projects), including approximate timing and key milestones. You may also describe any interdisciplinary or project-based activities, measurement campaigns, or collaborations across schools or with local research institutions that you plan to develop. If relevant, describe how your institution’s specific context (e.g. access to facilities, links to researchers, partnerships) could enrich the project. (max. 3000 characters)
