At CERN, we probe the fundamental structure of particles that make up everything around us. We do so using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments.  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. Our mission is to: perform world-class research in fundamental physics., provide a unique range of particle accelerator facilities that enable research at the forefront of human knowledge, in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way., unite people from all over the world to push the frontiers of science and technology, for the benefit of all., train new generations of physicists, engineers and technicians, and engage all citizens in research and in the values of science.
