CERN 70 Years – a tour filled with science, connections, and inspiration

Science lectures and exhibitions

The tour visited a total of nine cities, from Luleå in the north to Malmö in the south. It also featured an exhibition about CERN, showcasing the facility itself and the groundbreaking discoveries made there.

“It has been an amazing journey, and incredibly exciting to see how many people are interested in the research being conducted at CERN. CERN is a massive facility that pushes the boundaries of what is possible. This requires both ingenuity and hands-on practical work. What I think surprises many is just how many different career opportunities exist at CERN and the wide range of professions they employ,” says Jonas Strandberg, Associate Professor of Particle Physics at KTH, who conducts research at CERN and was one of the organizers behind the tour.

Lecturers during the tour included:

• Jonas Strandberg (KTH)
• Sara Strandberg (Stockholm University)
• Ayla Borglund (CERN)
