Fabiola Gianotti is the Director-General of CERN.
It was just a few short weeks in mid-2012, but they were so intense that it felt like years. As 4 July drew near, the ATLAS and CMS experiments could sense that they were homing in on something big.
Following the 208th session of the CERN Council, which concluded on 17 June, the Director-General sent the following message to the CERN personnel
Following the resolutions adopted at the March session of the CERN Council, the Director-General sent the following message to the CERN personnel
The 2020 update of the European strategy for particle physics forms the basis of CERN’s objectives for the next five years, explains Fabiola Gianotti
The Directorate will be answering your questions on Tuesday, 15 December
We would like to share with you some of the highlights of the September meetings of the Council and its committees
