The Globe

The Globe of Science and Innovation

  • An emblem for CERN serving science and innovation
  • A symbol of sustainable development for all
  • The departure point for visits of the Laboratory
  • At the heart of CERN's science in society project

27 metres high and 40 metres in diameter, it's about the size of the dome of Saint Peter's in Rome! A unique visual landmark by day and by night, the Globe of Science and Innovation is a symbol of Planet Earth. It is CERN's new outreach tool for its work in the fields of science, particle physics, leading-edge technologies and their applications in everyday life.

Events that take place in the Globe of Innovation and Science are advertised in the Events and Exhibitions section of this site.
