About us

CERN is a truly unique organisation. A genuine collaboration between countries, universities, and scientists, driven not by profit margins, but by a commitment to create and share knowledge. People here are part of immense scientific discoveries, answering some of life’s most complex questions and pushing the boundaries of understanding. Experts from every field come here to share in this ambition and the nature of this collaborative, international community creates a genuine atmosphere of trust. People are free to work creatively and to trust in, and rely on, their colleagues across the organisation. History’s being made here – and the excitement is tangible, inspiring, and overwhelming at times. It is the only place in the world where you can do this work in this way. --- If you’ve worked at CERN in the past, why not join the official CERN LinkedIn Alumni group, linked from this page.

    The public consultation process for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) project begins in Switzerland and France 🇨🇭🇫🇷 These four months of exchanges and dialogue with the public are part of the preparations for a final decision on the project. As the CERN Council, comprising representatives of all the Organization’s Member States, prepares to update the European Strategy for Particle Physics on the basis of recommendations from the scientific community, the FCC remains a project under study for the time being, with the approval decision set to be taken in 2028 at the earliest. 🔗 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/d5NesnSA

    👉How does life #AtCERNlook like? How is the integration process into a new country? Our Talent Acquisition Team recently partnered with Gradcracker, one of the largest career websites for STEM positions, in a webinar packed with insights for anyone interested in CERN opportunities. Our recruiter, Freddie, together with our technical student, Ben, and our graduate, Emma, shared their experience starting this exciting time of their careers. The session also covered other topics, including application tips and the projects some of our students are working on. 🔗 Watch the full Webinar at https://lnkd.in/er5VRXgH CERN.

    First steel beams for DUNE start to be lowered CERN Director-General Mark Thomson met with dignitaries and officials at Sanford Underground Research Facility on 7 May to mark a milestone for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment Find out more: https://lnkd.in/g_t2Nq8j

    DUNE cryostat installation     Last Thursday, I was delighted to join US Department of Energy officials, members of Congress, and others at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota to mark a major milestone for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), in which CERN is playing a key role.    The event signalled the start of installation for DUNE’s underground structure, which truly is massive. More than 5000 tonnes of steel will be lowered into an enormous cavern 1.5 km below SURF to build the structural elements of DUNE’s detector modules, or cryostats. Once complete, two cryostats will each house 17,000 tonnes of liquid argon at a temperature of –200°, serving as target and tracker for neutrino interactions generated a by a powerful neutrino beam sent from Fermilab, 1300 km away.     The cryostats were provided by CERN, based on a novel technological solution inspired by the liquified-natural-gas (LNG) shipping industry. CERN established a fruitful collaboration with French LNG firm Gaztransport & Technigaz to design a modular structure that could be transported down narrow shafts and assembled in the DUNE cavern, and developed an ingenious design for the cryostat insulation based on a membrane that can deform as a function of the thermal conditions.    CERN is also playing a pivotal role in the development of the DUNE prototype detectors in CERN's North Area, further demonstrating the strong partnership between CERN and the US.     It is amazing to see the progress with the underground infrastructure for this next-generation neutrino facility, which I had the pleasure of working on during its design phase. DUNE is brilliant example of international collaboration, and I wish the SURF and Fermilab/LBNF teams all the best for the critical steps ahead!    #DUNEscience #neutrinos #physics #ParticlePhysics #MilestoneForScience

    On this day, 33 years ago, CERN put the World Wide Web software in the public domain. Proposed by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the web was originally created to allow scientists and institutes working on CERN data to share information accurately and quickly from across the globe. Later, CERN made a release available with an open licence, to maximise its dissemination. Here we see: 1️⃣+2️⃣ The document that officially put the World Wide Web into the public domain  3️⃣ Tim Berners-Lee’s NeXT computer that served as the original web server and development machine for the WWW project 4️⃣ A screenshot of the recreated page of the first website Find out more about the history of the #WWW: https://lnkd.in/dm8qc2zy
