On 27 June 2017, Lithuania signed an agreement with the European Nuclear Research Organisation (hereinafter referred to as “CERN”) and became an associate member of the world’s largest scientific institution, belonging to the community of cutting-edge science states and contributing to the main goal of CERN — to unite scientists in the world for joint work. CERN is an organisation that has existed for more than sixty years and carries out fundamental research into the structure of the universe. Cutting-edge research requires state-of-the-art technology and the best minds. Signing an Associate Membership Agreement is the recognition of the talent and potential of Lithuanian scientists, efforts to promote science and innovation in the international scientific community. Among the Baltic States, Lithuania was the first to become a member of the organisation. Lithuania’s membership of CERN opens up a wide range of opportunities for the country’s education. The aim of the project is to enable the potential of Associate Membership to CERN to be exploited. The project funds will pay a fee for the associated membership of the CERN organisation for the duration of the project.
