The Meyrin site is the only one of CERN\u2019s sites that straddles the border between France and Switzerland. Most of the researchers and technical installations can be found here, along with almost all of the administrative services. Opposite the main site is the Globe of Science and Innovation, which hosts public events and exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n
