CERN is a centre of scientific excellence and a source of pride and inspiration for physicists from all over the world, a cradle for technology and innovation, and a shining concrete example of scientific cooperation and peace.
From Fabiola Gianotti
In the big experiments, Atlas and CMS, we have something like 3,000 scientists each, and over 60 nationalities.
For me, my home is a peaceful place where I can rest, and it gives me back energy.
There is nothing more exciting than having a life devoted to fundamental knowledge and to contributing to advance the borders of knowledge.
The search for knowledge is a long and difficult task.
We know there must be new physics. For example, we cannot explain what dark matter is.
It's always good news when you're closer to the truth.
The training of younger generations is very close to my heart.
The top quark was discovered in 1995, and since then, the Higgs has become our obsession because the standard model was incomplete without it.
We had to understand things like why the top quark was so heavy and the electron is so light. The Higgs is a big, important step.
