CERN: from fundamental sciences to daily applications Welcome to Accelerating Science and Innovation Patrick.Fassnacht@cern.ch CERN: from fundamental sciences to daily applications 1

The Mission of CERN Push back the frontiers of knowledge E.g. the secrets of the Big Bang …what was the matter like within the first moments of the Universe’s existence? Develop new technologies for accelerators and detectors Information technology - the Web and the GRID Medicine - diagnosis and therapy Train scientists and engineers of tomorrow Unite people from different countries and cultures 2

Age Distribution of Scientists They do not all stay: where do they go? 26 Today: >2500 PhD students in LHC experiments 65

CERN: Innovation & Technology transfer Interfacing between fundamental science and key technological developments CERN Technologies and Innovation Detecting particles Accelerating particle beams Large-scale computing (Grid) 8

LHC accelerator: More than hundred industrial contracts across the world….

Superconducting magnets for Medical imaging >30’000 MRI (Magnetic Resonant Imaging) systems worldwide

CERN spin-off: More efficient solar panels Derived from vacuum technology developed at CERN for particle accelerators. R&D activity based at CERN Temperatures 100 degrees higher than what commercially available 300 high-temperature solar thermal panels (1200 square meters) on the rooftop of the GVA airport.
