Why CERN?
Today CERN employs over 2500 people - if you visit us you will find over 2500 different reasons why CERN is a great place to work!
Here are 6 key reasons we believe will make you love working here.
CERN's people are driven by a shared goal, a single purpose.
Unravelling the mysteries of the universe: it’s a big task.
This is a word that is included in the CERN values, but it’s something that can be claimed by any number of organisations, so what does it actually mean here?
CERN is an employer, a university and a state: a whole community working towards a shared goal – scientific discovery.
This is work without boundaries. People here are realising the impossible. Pushing what is known and accepted with the courage to ask, “what if?”
Of course, there’s one final element that helps to make CERN what it is today. People here enjoy living a truly cosmopolitan life, in the heart of Europe.
