Each day I learn something new. With more than 100 nationalities working together at CERN, each conversation unites different cultural experiences in a melting pot of ideas.

From the awe-inspiring particle detectors, housed in underground caverns the size of cathedrals, to seeing how accelerator technologies can be used in cancer treatments – CERN is an incredible place to work.

CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, is based in Geneva, Switzerland. Here, scientists from all over the world work together to uncover what the Universe is made of and how it works. Established in 1954, CERN has become a prime example of international collaboration. Our mission includes performing world-class research in fundamental physics. It involves providing a unique range of particle accelerator facilities that enable research at the forefront of human knowledge, in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way. CERN unites people from all over the world to push the frontiers of science and technology, for the benefit of all. It also trains new generations of physicists, engineers and technicians, and engages all citizens in research and in the values of science.
