00:00It is with immense pleasure and pride, and no little emotion I must admit,

00:08that I welcome all of you here today on this joyful occasion

00:13and I am humbly indebted to all of you for having joined us to celebrate CERN's 70th anniversary.

00:23Together, we are going to retrace the extraordinary history of this extraordinary organization

00:30and reflect on its future.

00:53And it is much more than that. As we will see, CERN is a value system.

01:23We are committed to promoting the scientific excellence of the continent after the war

01:27and to promoting the peaceful collaboration between the countries and peoples of Europe.

01:34Indeed, our founders understood that the renaissance of Europe after the war

01:43also required substantial investments in fundamental research

01:49and the renaissance is a glue that can solidify the countries and peoples of a fractured continent.

01:58Today, CERN is a truly global laboratory with 24 Member States, twice as many as in 1954,

02:0610 Associated Member States, 4 observers and many partners from all over the world

02:13and a community of more than 17,000 people across more than 110 nationalities.

02:20An incredible melting pot of languages, cultures, traditions.

02:25For those of us who work here or have worked here,

02:30this rich and enriching diversity has become a normal part of our daily life.

02:38But in a world where conflicts between countries, religions and cultures sadly persist,

02:46this is a truly precious gift which cannot be taken for granted.

02:52CERN's primary mission is research in particle physics.

02:57Particle physics underpins our understanding of the universe

03:02and how it has evolved from the initial Big Bang some 13.8 billion years ago up until today.

03:09It also underpins our understanding of the building blocks that make up the stars,

03:14the galaxies, the planets, life on Earth as we know it.

03:19Discoveries, measurements, observations made at CERN over the decades

03:25have made immense contributions to our understanding of the fundamental laws of nature

03:31and the structure and evolution of the universe.

03:34At the Large Hadron Collider, our flagship project, which actually runs physically beneath our feet,

03:41every day we are able to reproduce the conditions of the primordial universe

03:49as they were a millionth of a millionth of a second after the Big Bang.

03:55Yet many open crucial questions remain, as we shall see.

03:59For instance, 95% of the universe is dark to us,

04:03is made of forms of matter and energy that we cannot see or understand.

04:08And CERN is currently performing a feasibility study for its possible next facility,

04:13the so-called Future Circular Collider,

04:16which, on the timescale of the mid-2040s,

04:19may become the most extraordinary instrument humanity has ever built

04:24to understand and study the fundamental laws of the universe

04:29and address many of the open questions.

04:33CERN is also an engine of innovation,

04:36because our very ambitious scientific objectives require extremely complex and sophisticated instruments

04:45and the development of new technologies in various fields

04:50– superconducting materials, cryogenics, vacuum, electronics, robotics,

04:55calculations and data transmission on a planetary scale,

04:59artificial intelligence, quantum computing.

05:03These technologies find application in numerous areas of society,

05:08and many of them have had a profound impact on our lives,

05:13from the World Wide Web to accelerators for treating cancer,

05:17the PET scanner and other medical imaging devices,

05:21superconducting magnets for medical and nuclear fusion energy applications.

05:28Training is another crucial mission of CERN.

05:32At all times, 4,500 young men and women are trained here,

05:36including physicists, engineers and technicians,

05:39representing a wide range of skills.

05:43Most of these young people then pursue careers outside particle physics,

05:49in companies, in other fields of research or in public organizations.

05:54So CERN provides society with a continuous flow of young talents

05:59trained in STEM fields – science, technology, engineering and mathematics –

06:04in a laboratory of scientific excellence and in a truly international environment.

06:11I am one of the tens of thousands of young people who were trained here.

06:17I arrived at CERN in 1994.

06:23As a young postdoctoral student,

06:26CERN was not only a beautiful school of physics, but also a great school of life.

06:32CERN founders will be so proud to see what CERN has accomplished

06:38over seven decades of its life.

06:42And the aspiration and the values that motivated those founders

06:46are still firmly anchored in our organization today.

06:50They include the pursuit of scientific knowledge and technological innovation

06:54to the benefit of society, training and education,

06:57collaboration across borders, diversity, inclusion

07:02and the great dose of boldness and determination

07:06to pursue paths that border on the impossible.

07:10In conclusion, I would like to thank the Member States of CERN

07:23and all our partners around the world, as well as the CERN community.

07:28I would like to pay tribute to all the people who have worked here over the years

07:33and to all those who have supported our organization in one way or another

07:38to make CERN such an exceptional place.

07:42And I would particularly like to call on you, heads of state, governments,

07:46international organizations, ministers, other authorities,

07:50and in fact all of you who are here today,

07:52please, please help us to ensure that CERN has a brilliant future.

07:57Places like CERN give us hope for a better world.

08:00Places like CERN show what humanity can achieve

08:03when we set aside our dispute and we focus on the common good.
