In October 2017, Charlotte Lindberg Warakaulle, the International Relations Director of CERN, made a dazzling presentation to AIC members and guests on the wondrous scientific research and technological breakthroughs being developed at CERN, the world’s foremost particle physics lab. More than 40 people attended the event at Geneva’s Warwick Hotel.
Warakaulle opened her talk with a general introduction to CERN, before going into details on the cutting-edge research that has led to numerous findings, including the discovery, in July 2012, of the Higgs-boson particle (the so-called God particle) -- a fundamental constituent of the so-called standard model.
