  In this article, we briefly summarize the experiments performed during the
first Run of the Advanced Wakefield Experiment, AWAKE, at CERN (European
Organization for Nuclear Research). The final goal of AWAKE Run 1 (2013 - 2018)
was to demonstrate that \unit[10-20]{MeV} electrons can be accelerated to
GeV-energies in a plasma wakefield driven by a highly-relativistic
self-modulated proton bunch. We describe the experiment, outline the
measurement concept and present first results. Last, we outline our plans for
the future.
