Guided tours for Groups
The guided tours of the Visitor Centre psi forum are fully booked until the end of June.
Around 400 groups per year use the unique opportunity to gain insight into a modern research institute – the Paul Scherrer Institute. Associations, companies and school classes experience research live.
Would you like to organise a group tour? We offer customised tours for groups of 12 participants and more. These tours are free of charge and should be booked approx. 4 weeks in advance. Subject to confirmation by the Visitor Centre team, this offer is available from Monday to Friday. The latest start for a big tour is 4 pm. All of our tours are free of charge.
Big Tour
The big tour starts at the Visitor Centre psi forum. After an overview presentation on the Institute's activities and one of our 3-D films, 13 interactive thematic islands in the exhibition invite visitors to gain a more in-depth insight into the main areas of research.
The following tour leads you to our research facilities. You are accompanied by a PSI expert.
The tour is suitable for groups of 12 to 50 participants and is conducted in English, German or French (other languages on request).
Duration: 2 to 3 hours
Short programme
The short introduction at the Visitor Centre psi forum can also be booked separately. This short programme is suitable for groups of 12 to 50 participants and is available in English, German or French (other languages on request). Please note that this offer does not include a visit of our research facilities.
This offer is therefore particularly suitable for groups with a limited time budget or limited mobility.
Duration: 90 minutes.
