CERN Guided Tour ***

Friday, October 2, 2026

Optional program: Private guided tour of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

Important: Participants joining the guided tour at CERN are kindly requested to bring a valid photo ID.

Following our in-depth discussions over the past two days, we are delighted to invite you on an exclusive private guided tour of CERN – the European Organization for Nuclear Research and the world's largest particle physics laboratory.

CERN is renowned for operating the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator, and for the landmark 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson. It is also the birthplace of the World Wide Web, invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.

Today, CERN brings together 25 Member States, along with several associate members and observer nations, uniting scientists from over 70 countries in the pursuit of groundbreaking research.
