Fixed-target experiments have a long history at CERN, forming essential building blocks in the physics landscape, in parallel to collider facilities. For 40 years, the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) has provided a steady stream of high-energy proton beams to the North Area at the Prévessin site, feeding a wide variety of experiments. A symposium will be held at CERN to celebrate this hub of experiments, which have been exploring many fundamental questions and will continue to enrich the programme of the Laboratory.
