Research that changes the world
The incredible discoveries made at CERN, the planet’s largest particle physics laboratory, have changed the world. The partnership between the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative and the CERN & Society Foundation is inspiring new generations with the spirit of scientific exploration.
On the border between Switzerland and France, the nature of our universe is being probed. CERN is a prestigious scientific organization, best known for the incredible discoveries made using the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle accelerator. With 60 kilometres of tunnels and more than 80 caverns, the facility’s underground infrastructure is extremely complex. Scientists and engineers across the site share a quest to understand the basic constituents of matter and the laws that govern it. This journey of exploration is the most fundamental research.
