To mark CERN's 70th birthday, a week of events were held in Bonn for the general public.

From 14 to 20 September 2024, the University of Bonn celebrated the 70th anniversary of the famous European nuclear research center CERN for an entire week. With a varied program of science slams, physics shows and a concluding symposium, the focus was on the fascinating world of particle physics.

Particle Café about Data Science & Smart Trading on September 27

At the next Particle Café on 27.9.2024 we will have Dr Martin Schultens as our guest, who will talk about Data Science & Smart Trading and his career with particle physics. Come and join us!

70 Years of CERN: Celebrate with us!

The European nuclear research centre CERN is turning 70, celebrate with us from 14-20 September 2024 at the University of Bonn. The major anniversary of particle physics research in Europe will be celebrated on a big stage in Berlin this week and we would also like to contribute to the celebrations in Bonn with a series of events.

The smallest particles up close at the Open Day at the Forschungs- und Technologiezentrum für Detektorphysik

At the open day at the Research and Technology Center for Detector Physics and Accelerator ELSA at the University of Bonn, almost 1,000 visitors were able to gain an insight into research into the physics of the smallest particles at the University of Bonn. The Particle World Network at the Bonn node and our Fellows were of course also represented there with various offers.
