Description of the company
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are exploring the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the largest and most sophisticated scientific instruments in the world, they study the basic components of matter - elementary particles that can collide with each other at speeds close to the speed of light. This process gives physicists an idea of how particles interact and provides insight into the fundamental laws of nature.
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its founding and is a recognized value of the Organization.
