Join us to explore the Universe at CERN. With hands-on experiments, real scientific objects, immersive environments and interactivity, the exhibitions at Science Gateway will bring CERN to life.
If you are passionate about engaging people of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world, in science and research, then join one of our teams and make a difference.
From developing innovative exhibitions and hands-on lab workshops, to uncovering and sharing the exciting stories of CERN's research and technology on social media and other channels, to ensuring the smooth running of CERN Science Gateway, we cover a wide span of science communication activities.
We do not have any current position.
Ideasquare is the innovation space at cern, where collaborative methods, access to cern expertise, and cross-connectivity are used to generate potential solutions for the future of humanity. A place where people are given the license to dream.
Our activities revolve around six interlinked areas: hosting R&D&I projects, supporting selected innovation-focused EU-funded projects, prototyping, running design thinking workshops and associated educational programmes, organising events, and sharing knowledge in experimental innovation.
CERN’s famous landmark, the Globe of Science and Innovation, was initially designed by Geneva architects Hervé Dessimoz and Thomas Büchi as a model of a sustainable building for the Swiss national exhibition Expo ‘02. The Globe is made up of five different types of timber, which allows it to act as a natural carbon sink.
CERN Science Gateway is a place to explore CERN and science through authentic, innovative and inspirational experiences.
CERN is the European laboratory for particle physics and one of the world’s leading scientific research laboratories. CERN's business is pure research - physicists and engineers use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study Nature's tiniest building blocks, the fundamental particles, to find out how our world and the Universe work.
We want to be open and accessible to all visitors, to ensure that the maximum number of people can enjoy the interactive exhibitions and activities on offer at Science Gateway and at CERN. Here you will find information about the accessibility of our facilities and who to contact if you need to know more.
A small number of accessible parking spaces are available for visitors who have a parking badge for people with disabilities . There is also a drop-off/pick-up point between the Reception building and the Auditorium.
Families, individual visitors and small groups (fewer than 12 people) can freely access our three interactive exhibitions, as well as science shows and films (subject to availability). In addition, you can sign up for guided tours and lab workshops on a first-come, first-served basis. On Sundays, guided tours and lab workshops are exclusively reserved for families, individual visitors and small groups.
