SUMMARY
For decades, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, or CERN as it’s more commonly known, has been the home of world-leading particle physics. From the discovery of W and Z bosons in 1983, via the creation of antihydrogens in 1995, to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) finding the Higgs Boson in 2012, CERN has been a global hub for innovation and international collaboration. But what is next?

In this Discourse, particle physicist and CERN's Director-General, Mark Thomson, will explain the past present and future of research at one of the world's most successful research facilities. As the LHC prepares to restart at higher energies than ever, Mark will look ahead to the upcoming experiments, and uncover what physicists hope to find.
