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.
Practical information
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?
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.
The CERN Science Gateway project is made possible thanks to the generous support of its donors. Click below to discover them all.
You no longer need to be part of a group of 12 or more to book online. Families and individual visitors (1 to 11 people) can now plan their visit to the Science Gateway up to one month in advance.
From 13 June (as from 14.00) to 24 August 2025, CERN invites you to visit Levitation, a captivating exhibition by the renowned Slovak glass artist Ján Zoričák, hosted at the Globe of Science and Innovation. Presented with the kind support of the Slovak Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs and the Permanent Mission of the Slovak Republic to the UN in Geneva, Levitation beautifully bridges the world of fine art with the wonders of cutting-edge science.
