CERN was established after the Second World War by a handful of Europe’s leading scientists who saw an opportunity to construct an international laboratory for fundamental research that would bring nations together through science. Today CERN has 21 Member States and many other countries from around the world also participate in its research programme. In 2014, CERN is celebrating 60 years of science for peace!
To celebrate this anniversary in style, CERN has put together a rich and attractive programme offering something for everyone: public lectures, guided tours, practical demonstrations and exhibitions inspired by science. In 2014, CERN will be abuzz with these exciting events!
CERN’s Member States are also hosting events to celebrate this anniversary. A variety of events of all kinds will provide a great opportunity for exchanges between the scientific community and the general public.

A lecture by Professor Emmanuel Tsesmelis, a Senior Physicist in CERN’s Director-General Unit, on teaching modern physics, the main points of the basic science studied by scientists at CERN, innovations in technology and the advanced scientific and technical training offered by CERN within a truly international environment.
The event will begin with a preface by Stavros Zoumboulakis, Chairman of the Electoral Committee at the National Library of Greece.
This event is being organised in collaboration with the National Library of Greece.
Free admission with priority vouchers, which will be distributed at 5:30 p.m.
The lecture is part of an educational tribute to modern physics in schools, entitled “The subatomic journey to the classroom and the library”, organised in collaboration with CERN.
