  1. CERN - 50th AnniversaryOverview about activities

  2. Main Messages • CERN convention 29 Sep 1954 - mission: • To provide world-class laboratory in Europe, to understand the structure of Matter (and the Universe) • Coordinate fundamental research in particle physics • Help reunite Europe, stop brain-drain • 50 years of successful European cooperation (now: 20 MS) • Development of new technologies: • WWW, GRID, medical applications, many others • 2004: Pioneer in world-wide scientific collaboration • (LHC, GRID)

  3. Overview about activities • Memorabilia (books, stamps, …) • Local events • Overview • VIP Day • Open Day • Media events • Member state events

  4. Memorabilia Stamps CH, E Book « Infiniment CERN » 50 years research, 50 witnesses Science Physics Reports - the second 25 years (1979-2004) Souvenirs Calendar, wine, ties, T-shirts, and more

Main Member State Events(Status 31 March 04) Austria 7 October Vienna Lectures, Celebration (Austrian Acad of Sciences) 18 October Geneva Concert, Palais des Nations Belgium 30 May Brussels Concert Finland 13 May Helsinki Science Café 1-3 October Turku CERN Quiz at Science Fair France April Paris Exhibition (Palais de Decouvertes) Germany Autumn 15 towns Open Days, Colloquia, PP shows, teacher training, Saturday morning Physics, Autumn school academies, Science Fair Italy March, May Trieste Lectures ITCP (de Rujula, Rolandi) November Naples Exhibition ‘Futuro remoto’ UK 29 September London Lectures on CERN (IoP London)

  10. Further ideas (media involvement) School bus with young CERN scientists (e.g. Austria) Art project - LHC from space CERN history/science/technology quiz (on TV? School participation) National TV documentaries (e.g. on CERN researchers from respective country)

  11. Member States - Strategy CERN can help: • Ideas / Catalyzer for events • Coordination on national and European level, contacts • Support/reference letters ( government, local authorities ) • Sponsoring - via main CERN suppliers (from respective country) • CERN volunteers (event participation, talks, exhibitions, demos) BUT: • Nomoney • Nomanpower for organization
