Published on September 10, 2025

 Dear all,

 Please find below the media monitoring report for the period from 1 September to 7 September 2025. These press cuttings have been selected from 1845 results identified by our media monitoring system. 

 The obituary of former CERN Director-General Herwig Schopper, written by James Gillies, was published in The Guardian and achieved a large reach. Notably, Tim Berners-Lee was interviewed last week ahead of the publication of his new book about the web.

 

Maria Girone, Head of CERN openlab, talked to Fokus.swiss about data management and the future of high-performance computing in an interview arranged by the Press Office. Following a visit organised this summer, Italian media l’Agenzia di Viaggi covered Science Gateway.

 

ISOLDE’s recent result on the 40-neutron island of inversion was covered by various media.

 

Other mentions include Egypt’s first hackathon in quantum computing, organized with the support of CERN and Open Quantum Institute (OQI), and an article about the partnership between CERN and Swedish company Hexagon. A news story in various countries has also been Novartis's breakthrough in cancer treatments, in which an accelerator developed at CERN played a significant role.

 

We wish you a great week, 

 The Press Team
