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.

🌍 CERN Roadshows Autumn 2025 - Connecting with Students Across Europe! 🌍 This autumn, CERN teams travelled to the Netherlands, Germany, Czechia, and the UK to bring CERN closer to students at universities and technician schools. At each stop, we showcased CERN’s work and the many opportunities available for students, from internships and graduate positions to PhD programmes and fellowships. 🎓✨ Our team of experts not only delivered presentations but also engaged with students in an informal setting, exchanging ideas and experiences over refreshments. These roadshows are all about making connections, sparking curiosity, and showing students the exciting possibilities that CERN can offer. We are grateful to everyone who joined us and look forward to continuing these exchanges in 2026! 🚀 Where would you like to meet CERN in 2026? Leave a comment below. CERN. Take part! #CERN #CERNCareers

Beneath the Swiss countryside at CERN, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) propels particles to near light speed, crashing them together to uncover how the universe behaves at its most fundamental level. The ATLAS Collaboration—one of the largest detectors at CERN—is a flagship experiment exploring the nature of matter, dark matter and forces yet to be discovered. For more than 30 years, Argonne has played a key role in the ATLAS experiment by: • Helping design, build, test and modernize critical detector components. • Developing advanced systems to process and distribute enormous volumes of data to collaborators worldwide. • Analyzing ATLAS results in search of new physics that could contribute to major discoveries and breakthroughs. Additionally, Argonne is helping prepare ATLAS for the next era of physics discovery by upgrading detector hardware, streamlining data workflows and readying software to run on exascale supercomputers. Read more and check out these images showing our contributions over the years, plus Argonne leadership's visit to the ATLAS experiment in December 2024. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4qzusRu #physics #particlephysics #CERN

Advancing cancer therapy with next-generation radionuclides The PRISMAP Project, coordinated by CERN, has provided 159 radionuclide batches for cancer research over the past five years. Some of these radionuclides are prepared at CERN-MEDICIS, the only facility in the world dedicated to producing radionuclides for biomedical research through mass separation, resulting in highly pure nuclides.

Kickstart your future in science 🚀 Have you ever wondered what it’s like to conduct your own experiment at CERN? High-school students from all over the world can now apply to the Beamline for Schools (#BL4S) competition. If you have an idea for a #physics experiment to conduct at a particle accelerator, submit your proposal for a chance to spend two weeks at CERN, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) or Electron Stretcher Facility (ELSA) to perform your experiment. Teams can participate in preparatory online events and virtual visits before submitting their proposal. Submit your experiment proposals by 13 March 2026. Learn more and apply: https://cern.ch/bl4s
Day in the life of a #BL4S student 💫 Follow Maxime – one of the 2025 Beamline for Schools winners – as he takes us along for a day #AtCERN. 👇 BL4S is an education and outreach project supported by the CERN & Society Foundation, where teams of high-school students propose an experiment to be performed on a beamline.
