About
We are delighted to invite you for a privately guided tour of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research – one of the world’s largest and most respected centres for scientific research. The visit is organised in partnership with Norgesklubben Sveits.
In their own words:
At CERN, our work helps to uncover what the universe is made of and how it works. We do this by providing a unique range of particle accelerator facilities to researchers, to advance the boundaries of human knowledge.
The Laboratory, established in 1954, has become a prime example of international collaboration.

We will first enjoy lunch at the *GlassBox” at CERN’s Restaurant No. 1. Afterwards, our guide, Jens Vigen of the CERN Scientific Information Service, Secretary-General of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), will take us on an extensive tour, which may last up to 3 hours. A shuttle bus will transport the group between the CERN facilities during the visit.
Join us for what will surely be a highly educational and thrilling experience.
