  • 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

    Environmental awareness: mobility at CERN

    This infographic displays the four pillars of mobility at CERN. The graph is based on data provided by CITEC who carried out the latest survey on mobility in the Organization for CERN. Note: Individual Motorised Transport (IMT) comprises individual car, car sharing and motorbike/scooter. Don’t forget to keep in touch via the dedicated Environment Mattermost

  • CLIC technology for compact light sources

    CLIC technology for compact light sources

    X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs), the latest generation of synchrotron-radiation sources, are as sought-after as they’re scarce. The X-rays emitted by the electrons inside these linear accelerators are of precious help for research and medicine, but their high cost and complexity have meant that only a few such facilities are currently in operation worldwide. CompactLight, an
