60 years of celebrations

As CERN wraps up a month of events surrounding its 60th anniversary, the Bulletin looks back on September 29ths that have come and gone. What was hitting the CERN headlines when the Organization turned 15 - 30 - 45? Brace yourselves for a trip back in time with previous birthday editions of the CERN (a.k.a. "Weekly") Bulletin. >>

A worthy celebration

What a couple of weeks this has been, with events ranging from cinema through music to TEDxCERN and the culminating celebration on Monday, the day that CERN turned 60. It has been a remarkable 60 years for CERN and the countries that support it. I think it is fair to say that we marked the milestone with dignity, passing the message of science as a driving force for peace. >>

LS1 Report: NA62 readies for beam

On Wednesday, 10 September, the last NA62 straw tracker chamber was lowered into position in the experiment. This feat brings almost 8 years of CERN construction and design to a close, as the tracker has gone from the drawing board to construction and installation. >>

A new era of safety at CERN

CERN is modernising its safety policy and organisational structure in matters of Safety with the introduction of new reference documents that have come into force on 29 September. These texts adapt the Organization’s safety policy to take account of how the Laboratory has evolved and to include best practice in Safety matters. >>

See how people wished CERN a happy birthday with #MyCERN60

In the run up to 29 September, the hashtag #MyCERN60 gave CERN people and CERN’s followers on social media the chance to wish CERN a happy 60th birthday. Here are some of the highlights. >>

Open Access: there is something you can do…

Since the very beginning, CERN has put a lot of emphasis on the fact that its scientific output should be accessible to everyone. Today, on average, around 10% of articles are published Open Access worldwide. However, that figure is much lower when the proceedings of conferences, including those held at CERN, are taken into account. >>

From CERN people to the world

Created by filmmaker Liz Mermin, a new YouTube series puts the spotlight on CERN people. This set of short films offers new insight into the daily lives of CERN physicists. >>

Behinds the scenes of GS: a DSO like no other

At CERN, Departmental Safety Officers (DSOs) are responsible for making the members of their department aware of safety issues. They’re our first point of call every time a problem arises relating to environmental matters or the safety of people and installations. In GS, this role is even more crucial as the Department’s activities are scattered across the Laboratory and affect everyone. >>

Computer Security: How to succeed in software deployment

The summer student period has ended and we would like to congratulate all those who successfully accomplished their project! In particular, well done to those who managed to develop and deploy sophisticated web applications in the short summer season. Unfortunately, not all web applications made the final cut, moved into production and became visible on the Internet. We had to reject some... let me explain why. >>

Bruno Righini (1931-2014)

It was with great sadness that we learnt of the passing of our former colleague, Bruno Righini, after a sudden and cruel illness. >>
