CERN - 70 years of collaborative science
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 (including the United Kingdom), 10 Associate Member States, and a vibrant community of 17 thousand people, representing more than 110 nationalities; of which around one thousand people are from the UK.
With many mysteries of the fundamental nature of the Universie still to be unravelled, CERN is preparing to continue this inspiring journey of exploration.
