CERN, the European
Organization for Nuclear Research, uses the world's largest and most
complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of
matter – the fundamental particles. CERN was founded in 1954 as one of
Europe's first joint ventures, bringing specialists from 12 Member
States together to pursue a common dream. Established on the
Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, it has become a prime example of
successful international collaboration. Now CERN has 20 Member States,
and other nations from around the globe contribute to and participate
in its research.
