In summary, there are various scientific research places in Europe that could potentially interest young people in science. These include the Royal Institute of Science, Manchester University, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Royal Observatory in Edinburough, Gottingen University and Observatory, European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Lund University, and Ringhal Nuclear Power Station. In addition, the ITER project in Paris and the Arts et Métiers ParisTech museum with its collection of historical scientific instruments are also recommended for science students.

In Paris don't miss http://www.arts-et-metiers.net/. There are tons of instruments many of which are originals from the past including instruments used by Lavoisier, etc. Many students visit it. IMHO it's a must-visit place for any science student.
