This year's edition of NSTF's annual Malta student science forum (MSSF) will take place on Thursday at 10 a.m, at the NSTF, 220 St Paul Street, Valletta, opposite the Old University Building.

This year's forum will focus on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), one of the largest and most powerful scientific instruments ever constructed by mankind, which is located at the Geneva-based European Organisation for Nuclear Research, commonly known as CERN. The instrument is used to understand the constituents of matter and the forces that govern it.

Dr Nicholas Sammut, the only Maltese research engineer working at CERN, is the session's keynote speaker. He has completed research and worked on a mathematical model that is used as an integral part of the control system of the LHC.

For the past 12 years, NSTF has been organising this forum where students research scientific topics and prepare presentations for their fellow participants. A debate on the chosen subject from different perspectives follows the student presentations and the keynote address by an expert in the field.

All those interested in discovering more about the forum and participating in the debate are invited to attend the next MSSF session. For more details contact Mariella-Pia Tabone, NSTF's head of educational and cultural affairs, on 2558 8241 or e-mail: mtabo@nsts.org.
