Science Gateway exhibitions
Science Gateway is CERN’s new flagship education and outreach facility. The building will host various interactive exhibitions, hands-on laboratories, and events for visitors of all ages. It aims to communicate the whole range of research and innovation that happens at CERN, as well as inspire visitors to study STEM subjects. The following links outline the design and visuals specifically to be used for Science Gateway, to create memorable visuals for visitors that are consistent with CERN’s brand.
The goals of CERN Science Gateway are:
Enable a diverse audience across all sectors of the public to engage with the science, the discoveries, the technologies and the people working at CERN.
Inspire the next generation to explore a career in science and technology.
Empower visitors of all ages to make sense of the science that shapes their lives.
Convey the importance and relevance of fundamental science in bringing nations together through peaceful collaboration and driving innovation.
Conserve and display the heritage of big science, the objects and stories that transmit the tremendous human endeavour in a tangible way.
Build ties across CERN Member States and beyond, encouraging co-creation with other museums, science centres and education networks.
