CERN: a European laboratory open to the world

CERN is open to international collaboration from all over the world.

Besides the possibility for any institute with adequate backgrounds to join in the experimental program of CERN through participation in any of the CERN experiments

Collaboration agreements (and in many cases formal implementation protocols) have been established with countries and institutes all over the world

Countries with continuing collaboration and substantial contribution to the CERN accelerator program obtain the status of ‘Observer State’ which allows formal participation to the Open CERN Council meetings

In Asia: Japan, India are observer states

CERN policy towards non-member states is based on enlightened self interest and mutual benefits

The strengths of CERN’s relations with different countries depend on the match between CERN’s programme and the means and interests of these countries

Since early 2000 the CERN council has endorsed, amongst other directives towards non-member state activities, a policy addressed to increase CERN’s collaboration with the rapidly developing countries in South and East ASIA

CERN priorities with respect to new collaborations

•Facilitate completion of LHC and its experiments and assuring a sustainable framework for their exploitation

•Encourage cooperation on R&D in support of possible LHC upgrades and improvements of the CERN proton accelerator complex

•Expand Non-member state participation in the CLIC R&D program

•Lay a basis for collaboration on CERN’s future major projects

CERN as an Educator

Successful Educational programs

Summer Summer student program: program for undergraduate students (strong selection:1/10 of applicants are selected ) to spend 8-12 weeks of formation at CERN during summer time

High School teacher program: CERN hosts every summer a program of formation for High school teachers

'We expect that students/teachers from developed countries will be able to secure travel and local expenses from their own national sources. We may have some very limited funds available to pay the local expenses for students/teachers from other countries.

Fellow and associate program: some countries provide support for having PHDs spend between 1 and two years working on the CERN accelerator or Experimental program

Bringing Nations Together

“…the promotion of contacts between, and

the interchange of, scientists…”

CERN…

• Seeking answers to questions about the Universe• Advancing the frontiers of technology• Training the scientists of tomorrow• Bringing nations together through science: mutual

interests in technology development and research being the fundamental ingredient of collaboration
