CERN Visit on Monday morning, July 18, 2016
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of
the world’s largest and most respected centres for scientific
research. Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the
Universe is made of and how it works. At CERN, the world’s largest
and most complex scientific instruments are used to study the basic
constituents of matter — the fundamental particles. By studying
what happens when these particles collide, physicists learn about
the laws of Nature.
The instruments used at CERN are particle accelerators and
detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies
before they are made to collide with each other or with stationary
targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these
collisions.
Founded in 1954, the CERN Laboratory sits astride the
Franco–Swiss border near Geneva. It was one of Europe’s first joint
ventures and now has 20 Member States.

United Nations
Visit on Monday afternoon, July 18, 2016
The United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) is the second-largest
of the four major office sites of the United Nations (second to the
United Nations Headquarters in New York City). It is located in the
Palais des Nations building constructed for the League of Nations
between 1929 and 1938 at Geneva in Switzerland, and expanded in the
early 1950s and late 1960s. Besides United Nations administration,
it also hosts the offices for a number of programmes and funds such
as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD),
the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs (OCHA) and the United Nations Economic Commission for
Europe (ECE). The United Nations and its specialized agencies,
programmes and funds may have other offices or functions hosted
outside the Palais des Nations, normally in office spaces provided
by the Swiss Government. UN specialized agencies and other UN
entities with offices in Geneva hold bi-weekly briefings at the
Palais des Nations, organized by the United Nations Information
Service at Geneva. Timing
