WelcomeWelcome CSEM – CERN Day 23 rd May 2013 CSEM – CERN Day 23 rd May 2013 to Accelerating Science and Innovation to Accelerating Science and Innovation

The Mission of CERN  Push forward the frontiers of knowledge E.g. the secrets of the Big Bang …what was the matter like within the first moments of the Universe’s existence?  Develop new technologies for accelerators and detectors Information technology - the Web and the GRID Medicine - diagnosis and therapy  Train scientists and engineers of tomorrow  Unite people from different countries and cultures
