This year, Finland celebrates 100 years as an independent state. During this period, Finland has evolved to be one of the leading countries for innovation in the world, and to celebrate our centenary, we bring some of the latest Finnish innovations to CERN.
Our Nordic country has a huge variety of expertise in different fields. Many Finnish companies collaborate and do business with CERN.
The Helsinki Institute of Physics (HIP) and CERN invite you to join Finland at CERN from November 1 to 3 at IdeaSquare and the Globe of Science and Innovation.
