Globe of Science and Innovation

The Globe of Science and Innovation

At 27 metres high and 40 metres in diameter, the CERN Globe of Science and Innovation is about the same size as the dome of Saint Peter's in Rome! A unique visual landmark by day and night, it is a symbol of Planet Earth. Originally named the Palais de l’équilibre, the Globe was designed by Swiss architects Hervé Dessimoz and Thomas Büchi. It was initially built in 2002 in the city of Neuchâtel for the Swiss national exhibition, Expo.02, and was a symbol of sustainable development. Its construction is based on the most ecological of all building materials, wood. In 2003, the Swiss Confederation donatd it to CERN for the 50th anniversary of the Organization. It is now one of CERN's main attractions, home to a permanent exhibition and hosting public events such as conferences, workshops and artistic performances.

The Large Hadron Collider in the Geneva area

The Large Hadron Collider in the Geneva area

The Large Hadron Collider, LHC, is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. It helps CERN researchers unlock the mysteries of our Universe by smashing atomic nuclei together at very high energy.
The tunnel that hosts the LHC was built between 1986 and 1988 to host the Large Electron Positron collider, LEP, a particle accelerator for lighter particles that operated between 1989 and 2000, and was eventually replaced by the LHC in 2008.
The tunnel lies between the Jura mountains and Lake Geneva at an average depth of 100m. It runs below the Canton of Geneva in Switzerland and the Pays de Gex in France, crossing the Swiss-French border six times along its path.
