CERN is home to some of the world’s most complex scientific instruments, used by physicists to probe the fundamental structure of the Universe. The technologies developed to operate these instruments – and, in general, to pursue CERN’s fundamental mission – have applications in areas beyond particle physics. CERN’s Knowledge Transfer (KT) group works proactively to maximize the dissemination of these technologies and the impact of CERN in society, by actively scouting for opportunities to accelerate innovation and work with leading industries in the medical field, aerospace, cultural heritage and industry 4.0. In the Knowledge Transfer Highlight you can learn more about some of the success stories of 2021.
