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.

Researchers’ night
Researcher’s night has been held in Romania since 2002, in many places at once (Bucharest, Cluj, Iasi, Suceava, etc), so surely this is a great opportunity to present the mysterious and exciting particle physics to the general public. CERN@70 celebration will only add to other research domains, so it will benefit of its own tent and guided visits to the research institutes’ laboratories. The experiments (ALICE, LHCb, nTOF + ISOLDE, NA62, RD50, WLCG, DsTAU ) will have their own stands inside the big tent, and many activities will take place there: movies, small experiments and equipment presentations, quizzes, talks between researchers and curious people of all ages, related experiments gifts (badges) , small-scale experimental setups, etc. A common special CERN hour is also envisionedto celebrate 70 years of CERN research, with video presentations and short movies included.(Europe/Bucharest)
