Computer Science Week Dec. 6, 2023

Computer science is a dynamically developing discipline that has changed our lives rapidly within a few decades and is in constant evolution. This week, we celebrate information systems and their never-ending potential to connect the world, 24 hours a day. The European Organisation for Nuclear Research, known as CERN—the birthplace of the World Wide Web— is an ideal setting to celebrate Computer Science Week. The CERN centre in Switzerland has dedicated The Globe of Science and Innovation, an 27-metre-tall building seen in today"s image, to its visitors and offers engagement and knowledge about the research carried out by the organisation. Quiet observers can wander around exhibitions and follow guided tours, and curious minds can take part in lab workshops and science shows for a first-hand experience.
