CERN Science Gateway has received a Special Commendation at the European Museum of the Year Awards (EMYA) ceremony held in Bilbao, Spain, on 13 June 2026. The EMYA jury mentioned that "The CERN Science Gateway fosters a passion for knowledge and discovery by inspiring future scientists, engineers, and critical thinkers. In doing so, it strengthens scientific literacy and curiosity across borders, making the new science centre and museum an outstanding example of public engagement with science".

A cosmic concert by CERN, the HEM of Geneva - Neuchâtel and KV 265 Science & Symphony Films 

Collision(s), a play inspired by an encounter between playwright Catherine Tinivella-Aeschimann and particle physicist Yasmine Amhis (CNRS/CERN), offers an introspective and poetic journey that reveals the connections between scientific research and human experience.

After 2 years of operation and just as Science Gateway passes the 800’000 visitor milestone, the centre is recognised by a nomination for the prestigious European Museum of the Year Award.
