As part of its mission to engage the public in science, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (known by its French acronym, CERN) is launching the Science Gateway, a new facility for scientific education and outreach. The purpose of the project is to inspire the younger generations with the beauty of science. The building designed by the office of Renzo Piano will include several pavilions connected by tunnels and bridges, inspirational exhibition spaces, laboratories for hands-on scientific experiments for children and students from primary to high-school level, and a large amphitheater to host science events for experts and non-experts alike.
