  • CERN moves closer to achieving full open access

    Since 2014, CERN has required that all peer-reviewed primary research articles from CERN authors are published open access (OA), i.e. freely available for anyone around the world to read and re-use with appropriate attribution. This policy reflects the moral imperative of CERN as a publicly-funded organisation – supported by contributions from its Member States –

  • CERN’s new urban plan looks to the future

    CERN’s urban landscape is changing. You see it when you pass the Science Gateway construction site on the Route de Meyrin, admire new and newly-refurbished buildings, or pedal along the growing network of cycle paths. CERN has grown organically over the decades into the laboratory we know today, and it continues to evolve in response
