CERN’s 70-year anniversary tour trio
How has CERN affected our lives since the facility was first taken into use 70 years ago? Or, perhaps more intriguing, what is going on at CERN right now, and what kind of competencies is CERN looking for to work on the unanswered questions about how the universe works and what it is made of? Join us to learn about all this and more!
CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, located in the suburbs of Geneva in Switzerland, on the border with France.
CERN houses the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments for investigating the subatomic world. This year holds special significance for the research facility – on 29 September, it turned 70. And, even though so much has already been discovered through CERN, it feels like the work has just begun.
Join the CERN 70 Anniversary tour for a day of activities – an exhibition, an inspiring lunch seminar, and an evening event, including a popular scientific talk on current research at CERN. The evening event is held in Swedish.
It is the perfect opportunity to learn more about what CERN has done and does and how you can be a part of the future of this world-famous research facility.
Lunch seminar and exhibition
Are you a student, and perhaps you have never thought that CERN could be the next step in your career? Find out what it is like to join one of CERN’s many student programs and get to know more about the challenges you would be working on at CERN.
As a research facility, CERN requires people with innovative mindsets and diverse skills in everything from engineering and computer science to administration and international relations.
