Happy birthday!
CERN’s 70-year history is rich in ground-breaking achievements both in physics and technology. During the celebrations, we will release multiple videos that will take you on this journey with us.
About CERN
CERN was established after the Second World War by a handful of Europe’s leading scientists and diplomats with a mission to bring excellence in scientific research back to Europe and foster peaceful collaboration among nations. Today, CERN has 24 Member States, 10 Associate Member States, and a vibrant community of 17 thousand people, representing more than 110 nationalities. With many mysteries of the fundamental nature of the Universe still to be unravelled, CERN is preparing to continue this inspiring journey of exploration.
Upcoming events
We have put together a rich and beautiful programme to honour CERN’s contributions to scientific knowledge, technological innovation, and international collaboration over the past 70 years, culminating with an official ceremony on 1 October.
From conversations with distinguished scientists to exhibitions showcasing CERN science and its people, to many public engagement initiatives at CERN, in Member States and Associate Member States, and beyond, there is something for everyone in this exciting programme.
