Within the frame of the visit Mrs. Mariam Gersamia was introduced with the work of Georgian scientists as well as with the advanced innovations in the field of information technologies, natural and engineer sciences.

It is worth noting that CERN on the basis of innovation, education and research unites thousands of people from all around the world. The 50% of the visitors of CERN are school students.  In order to support science popularization, the meeting with the head of the CERN educational programs Mick Score was organized in order to discuss the possible cooperation in scientific-educational sphere (video conferences, space bridges and organizing lectures for school students, general students and scientists).  Mr. Score provided Georgian and Ukrainian representatives with detailed information about the Summer schools and training courses at CERN that are regularly conducted for the teachers of physics;

Within the frame of the visit, Mrs. Mariam Gersamia attended the large-scale exhibition in Geneva organized by the museum of Science history.

Nuclear Research Center was established in 1953 in Geneva on the basis of the agreement between 12 European states. It was created for such dimensioned researches that would be impossible to conduct independently by each state. Several decades ago, it was CERN where internet was invented and currently an active work is conducted for implementing new technologies, such as GRID;

First Georgian scientist (prof. G.Chikovani) started working at CERN in 1966. Nowadays, about 8 000 scientists from 85 European states are working at CERN, among them 35 are Georgian Scientists. Membership fee 40 000 Swiss Francs for Georgian scientists at CERN is covered by Georgia National Science Foundation from state budget.
