Today we were honoured to host 🇬🇧 celebration of @CERN 70th anniversary with Science Secretary @PeterKyle and the global science community.
CERN is a beacon for international scientific partnership and shows the power of physics to improve lives, from the discovery of the Higgs boson to sowing the seeds of the World Wide Web.
Congratulations on 70 years – we know the next 70 years of innovation and discovery will be just as vital for humanity.
From the World Wide Web to new cancer treatments, the breakthroughs that happen @CERN really do change the world.
We're proud of 🇬🇧's role in 70 years of CERN history - and we're looking ahead to an exciting future.
