Dear all,
Please find below the media monitoring report for the period 02–08 February 2026. These press cuttings have been selected from the results identified by our media monitoring system.
The Spanish news agency EFE that attended the breakfast with Mark Thomson published its article that was republished by multiple news outlets focusing on the High-Luminosity LHC as the start of a new era for physics, highlighting the strategic role of the ongoing upgrades in enabling future discoveries. Following a Protocol visit they attended, El País also published an interview with Mar Capeáns, exploring how recreating the conditions of the early universe helps scientists understand fundamental questions about our future.
Media also reported on broader governance and funding issues affecting the field, with the British Financial Times covering the UK government’s decision to cut more than £250 million in planned funding for physics projects, raising concerns about the future of large-scale research infrastructure.
Press coverage also included other pieces linked to CERN’s activities. Italian daily La Repubblica highlighted innovative efforts to reuse heat from the LHC to heat homes, illustrating CERN’s contribution to sustainability and energy efficiency in the region.
Other important CERN-related news bridged the Organisation’s past and future. The Greek media outlet Offline Post offered an engaging retrospective on CERN’s history.
Additional mentions included a personal feature from Svenska YLE, the Finnish national broadcaster, in which science journalist Marcus Rosenlunds shared his experience of fulfilling a long-standing dream by visiting CERN, as part of a media visit in January 2026.
We wish you a great week,
The Press Team
