Robert Cailliau
Robert Cailliau was Tim Berners-Lee's first collaborator on the World Wide Web project at CERN. He redacted the proposal that made the Web an official project of CERN and intensively promote the adoption and development of the Web. He also founded the World Wide Web conference series, the European Commission's Web For Schools project, and played a critical role in making the web available on a royalty-free basis.
François Flückiger
François Fluckiger is a leader of the promotion the Internet in Europe. He contributed to the development of the Réseaux IP Européens (RIPE) and to the creation of Ebone (the pan-European Internet backbone) and arranged for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to become a founding member of the Internet Society (ISOC). Francois Fluckiger has also been in charge of CERN's World Wide Web team since the departure of web inventor Tim Berners-Lee.
Pier Giorgio Innocenti
Pier Giorgio Innocenti is a physicist whose work has shaped advancements in experimental physics and computing. His career began at CERN and included roles at Harvard and SLAC before returning to CERN and later teaching part-time at the Università di Torino. Innocenti integrated advanced computing into physics research, transforming experimental methods, from real time event selection at the ISR to designing the LEP Control System. As head of CERN’s Electronics and Computing for Physics Division, he contributed to the R&D essential for the LHC experiments. He took part in CERN’s Web negotiations with the European Commission.
