In June 2014, CERN established its charitable arm, the CERN & Society Foundation, whose purpose is to support and promote the dissemination, to the widest possible public, of the benefits of CERN’s mission, through education & outreach, innovation & knowledge exchange, and culture & creativity.

Since then, the CERN & Society programme has successfully helped multiply CERN’s impact on society thanks to a range of projects that aim at raising young people’s interest in science, creating synergies between science and the arts, and improving people’s lives through scientific applications.

Yesterday, we celebrated the Foundation’s three years anniversary as we welcomed many CERNois and CERNoises at the entrances of Restaurant 1 and Restaurant 2 with many impact stories about CERN & Society projects.

 

During the event, copies of the freshly printed 2016 Annual Review were distributed, and the participants had the opportunity to take part in a free lottery and win an authentic LHC Data Tape.

 

The lucky winners of the lottery are:

1. Pauline Mathilde Albert
2. Frank Berghaus
3. Daniel Fernandez
4. Fernando Jusdado

 

Thank you to all of you who joined us and we hope to meet you again very soon. If you would like to keep up-to-date with our latest news, sign up to the CERN & Society newsletter.
