The CERN Accelerator School (CAS) celebrated its 40th anniversary in the sunshine last September and with its contributors this January.
For the past 40 years the CERN Accelerator School has provided a unique training ground for accelerators and associated technologies.
A special symposium held at CERN in September celebrated the anniversaries of the laboratory's major discoveries that underlie the modern theory of particles and forces.
Giorgio Brianti, a pillar of CERN throughout his 40-year career, played a major role in the success of CERN and in particular the LEP project.
When the CERN nuclear research centre was conceived in the 1950s, one of the aims was to strengthen European science after World War II and restore relations between countries recently engaged in armed conflict. Geneva was selected as host because of its central location in Europe, Swiss neutrality during the war, and the international organisations already present in the country. Both the UK and Switzerland were among its founding members.
