This year marks the 10th anniversary of the CERN & Society Foundation. Created in 2014, the Foundation supports and promotes CERN’s mission and its benefits to the wider public both nationally and internationally across three main areas: education and outreach, innovation and knowledge exchange, and culture and creativity.

Projects supported by the Foundation encourage talented young people from around the globe to follow STEM careers, catalyse innovation for the benefit of all, and inspire wide and diverse audiences. From training high-school teachers to producing medical isotopes, donors’ generosity brings research excellence to all corners of society.
Rolf-Dieter Heuer, co-founder of the Foundation
