New at Science Gateway: "Les vrais chercheurs ne savent pas ce qu'ils cherchent" (Real researchers don’t know what they’re looking for), a documentary by Jean-Luc Perréard et Cédric Klapisch about CERN.

New documentary on the history and future of CERN in presence of director Alex Kiehl and producer Elin Rhys

Made to mark CERN’s seventieth anniversary, The peace particle is a documentary written and directed by Alex Kiehl, which combines poetry, music and rare archival footage, with special access to the Large Hadron Collider, to reveal how CERN emerged from the ashes of war and continues to promote peace through science, now and in the future.

On the occasion of Dark Matter Day

Storyteller David Telese, in collaboration with CERN physicist Baptiste Ravina, presents this show for children which introduces the subject of dark matter.

Discover how particle detectors are used in experiments at CERN — and even in space —through an exciting adventure game!

Aerospace and particle physics share many similarities. Both require electronics that can operate in extreme environments, and both must process vast amounts of data quickly and autonomously. Did you know that one of CERN's particle detectors is actually on board the International Space Station?

With Generation Higgs, CERN honours the young minds already shaping today’s scientific landscape

Due to roadworks on the Route de Meyrin, tram line 18 service will be impacted in August 2025. Please take this into account when planning your journeys. Expect an additional travel time of 10 to 15 minutes between CERN, downtown Geneva, and the airport.

On 16 and 17 August

Admission to the Science Gateway is free, but registration is required.
