Reconnect with the CERN community at one of our upcoming meetups! Join us for a relaxed setting to network, catch up, and make new connections:
- Delft, 20 November: TU Delft, celebrating CERN’s 70th anniversary with 4TU Alumni: https://alumni.cern/events/156659
- New York, 21 November: Reichenbach Hall – register by 18 November: https://alumni.cern/events/161256
- Vienna, 5 December: The Long Hall Bar Vienna: https://alumni.cern/events/163130
- Lausanne, 29 November: Christmas market meetup at Bô Noël Marché with the Swiss Romandie group: https://alumni.cern/events/p/83248
There’s still time to register for Danser avec l’Évolution on 19 November at Science Gateway. Experience a unique fusion of dance and science, directed by Michel Hallet Eghayan and inspired by paleoanthropologist Pascal Picq. After the performance, CERN alumna Leïla Haegel will join Picq for a discussion on the parralels between science and art: https://alumni.cern/events/160620
Join an online event to explore whether dark energy—a force driving the universe’s accelerated expansion—is changing over time. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is building a 3D map of the universe to investigate this possibility. Tune in to hear the latest findings and their implications: https://alumni.cern/events/163410
CMS researchers have introduced a machine-learning algorithm during LHC Run 3 to detect data anomalies, enhancing the quality control of one of the detector’s key components. Discover how AI is advancing research at CMS: https://home.web.cern.ch/news/news/experiments/cms-develops-new-ai-algorithm-detect-anomalies
The CERN Courier revisits iconic moments from CERN’s first 25 years, pairing historical snapshots with reflections from current experts. This journey through 70 years of science shows how CERN has transformed and what remains timeless in high-energy physics: https://cerncourier.com/a/back-to-the-future/
Finally, in an exclusive interview with the CERN Courier, CERN Council President Eliezer Rabinovici shares insights on the unity and foresight of CERN’s member states as they shape CERN’s future in fundamental exploration: https://cerncourier.com/a/steering-the-ship-of-member-states/
