  • Meyrin (CERN Science Gateway): from 8 October

Exhibition Why? It matters

What direction will particle physics research at CERN take after the LHC? What major scientific questions remain unanswered? What technologies will be needed to take research further? And how do we decide which projects to undertake?

With the exhibition ‘Why? It matters’, CERN invites the public to discover the ideas that are currently shaping the future of particle physics research. From the mysteries of the Universe to technological challenges, from proposed future accelerators to their impacts on society and local areas, the exhibition highlights the many dimensions that come into play when imagining CERN’s future.

Admission is free. from 09 October
