Focus areas for Collaboration

 

CERN has nine specific sustainability focus areas in which it would like to collaborate with you. You see them below, each with a summary description of already identified interests or priorities. This being said, if your project does not exactly match any of the descriptions but clearly addresses an environmental sustainability issue with a strong research or demonstration component, we would still like to talk to you.
