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 23 Member States, ten 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.
Join us this year as we celebrate our glorious past and shape a bright future for CERN.

Physics for All – Física Para Todos
This is an outreach activity organized by the Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil. It aims the dissemination of physics to the general public through presentations of interesting and exciting topics. During this year, the program will celebrate the 70 years of CERN through the presentations of topics related to each of the Large Harcon Collider (LHC) experiments. Este é um programa de divulgação científica organizado pelo Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo, Brasil. O seu objetivo é a divulgação da física para o público em geral através de apresentações sobre tópicos interessantes e instigantes. Durante este ano, o programa celebrará os 70 anos do CERN através de apresentações de tópicos de física relacionados aos experimentos do Large Hadron Collider (LHC).(America/Sao Paulo)

CERN70-Veranstaltungswoche in Deutschland
Im Jahr 2024 begeht das CERN seinen 70. Geburtstag. Deutschland, als Gründungsmitglied und größter Beitragszahler, würdigt diesen runden Geburtstag mit vielen großen und kleinen Veranstaltungen im September 2024. CERN-Forschende gibt es nämlich nicht nur in Genf – mehr als 1000 Menschen sind an Unis und Forschungseinrichtungen an der CERN-Forschung beteiligt. Sie haben ein buntes Programm zusammengestellt, das für jeden etwas bietet: Ausstellungen, Vorträge, Workshops und mehr. Vielleicht läuft ja auch etwas in Ihrer Nähe?
