A universal symbol of research, knowledge and innovation.

The Globe of Science and Innovation symbolises CERN’s message to society in the fields of science, particle physics and cutting-edge technologies, and their applications in everyday life.

The Globe of Science and Innovation is a landmark for CERN and a symbol of sustainable development for all. It is 27 metres high and 40 metres in diameter, which is about the size of the St. Peter's Basilica's dome in Rome! A unique visual landmark by day and by night, the Globe of Science and Innovation is a metaphor for Planet Earth. On the ground floor , the ‘Universe of Particles’ exhibition takes the visitor on a journey deep into the world of particles and back to the Big Bang.
