CERN was established in the aftermath of World War II to bring nations and people together for the peaceful pursuit of science and continues to uphold its core values of scientific collaboration across borders as a driver for peace.

CERN proposes dedicated opportunities for Ukrainian students who aspire to gain international educational and professional experience and extends its support and educational opportunities during these challenging times.

Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. See how we’re improving this further here. The international and multi-disciplinary environment makes CERN a truly unique place to work and learn.
