CERN Public Events: Where Science Meets Society

Every year, CERN public events welcome thousands of people to explore the frontiers of science through lectures, exhibitions, festivals, tours, films, workshops, and conversations with scientists. Supported through the CERN & Society Foundation,these events inspire curiosity, foster scientific understanding, and create opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to engage with science at the frontiers of knowledge.

Your support helps make these experiences accessible to everyone. By donating, you enable more people to discover how science shapes our understanding of the universe, inspires future generations, and encourages informed engagement with the world around us.
