Looking back to 2024

The first full year of operation of the CERN Science Gateway has been a real success!

In 2024, we welcomed almost 390,000 visitors from over 171 countries. After only 15 months of operation, CERN Science Gateway is now one of the top 10 most visited tourist attractions in Switzerland.

We are closed until 7 January

CERN Science Gateway and the Globe of science and innovation are closed on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 January due to annual tests and maintenance. They will also be closed on Monday 6 January like any other Monday.

We look forward to welcoming you again as from Tuesday 7 January for another exciting year of science and discovery.

Meet Leïla Haegel

Her passion for fundamental science, outreach and the arts comes together in this event, where she will discuss the origins of the Universe and human evolution.
