Meyrin

The Meyrin site is the only one of CERN’s 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.


 

Come here for all things magnetic: get explanations of measurements of the magnetic field of resistive magnets and see displays of magnetic measurement devices and magnetic phenomena.

Want to try welding components in virtual reality or measuring your height with a laser? Come and see how mechanical components for particle-physics experiments are created, from design to fabrication using state-of-the-art machines.

Come and listen to live music performed by members of CERN's Music club.

Meyrin

Learn how to use an orienteering map and a compass and test your navigational skills with short orienteering circuits.

Take part in our electricity and magnetism experiments, listen to the sounds of an accelerator or observe our musical Tesla coil playing a tune. Young visitors may take on their first engineering challenge at our motor-making workshop or play our spot-the-difference game.

Meyrin

Discover radiation protection at CERN. Get explanations of the notions of natural and artificial radioactivity and learn about the measurement techniques used at CERN.

Join the CERN Fitness club and others on the Sustainable Dance Floor, which uses human movement as a source of energy. This kinetic energy is converted into electricity that powers the floor's LED lights. Through this process, the floor interacts with the dancers to involve them in an interactive energy experience.
