Poland in the UN

The Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education held consultations with Prof. Mark Thomson, Director General of the Organization and had the opportunity to visit the AMBER, ATLAS and LHCb detectors of the Large Hadron Collider.

An important point of the visit to Geneva was the meeting of the Minister with the Polish community of CERN employees, which took place at the Permanent Representation of the Republic of Poland to the United Nations Office in Geneva. It was an opportunity to emphasize the importance that the Government of the Republic of Poland attaches to cooperation with CERN and presence of our scientists, engineers and experts in the structure of the Organization.

 

The European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN (Organisation Européene pour la Recherche Nucléaire) is a research and scientific centre located on the border of Switzerland and France. Currently, twenty-five countries belong to the organization. Poland gained the status of a full member in 1991.

Polish's activity at CERN is coordinated by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Poland.
