Interesting case from #CERN where #Russia team leaving the project sabotaged continued operations of the module they delivered by refusing to supply documentation on its operations, thus threatening continuity of the project:
When CERN definitively ended its cooperation with Russia, engineers were left with Russian equipment for which complete documentation was lacking. Shutting down the equipment threatened to paralyse the key ALICE experiment. That’s when the Poles stepped in, figured out how the Russian equipment worked, reverse engineered it, and not only saved the project, but became key players in the Large Hadron Collider. Krystian Rosłon from the Warsaw University of Technology revealed the details of this incredible operation to the PAP Nauka news agency.

Even though #LoveDataWeek 2026 has officially come to an end, our love ❤️ for data does not!
Follow our colleague to the @CMSexperiment control room to see how the data from CMS is collected 👇

The @eosc_everse community is gathering at #CERN
Alberto di Meglio, digital strategy lead at CERN's CIO office, shares a powerful message: Recognizing software as a first-class pillar of research isn't just a cultural shift but requires bold governance and strategic vision.
The day continues with demos of EVERSE services and contributions from EOSC Science clusters and other communities.
Explore the full program and presentations: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/message/19:6150fb0c-a29b-408a-b339-45967f087785_cd3febae-4088-4788-bd70-a2c4058dfc1d@unq.gbl.spaces/1770283606361?context=%7B%22contextType%22%3A%22chat%22%7D

The second General Assembly of the @eosc_everse project is underway at @CERN coordinated by Fotis Psomopoulos.
As the project enters its final year, the focus moves from implementation to dissemination, with consolidated services ready to reach a broader research community.
OpenAIRE is proud to support this next phase, fostering sustainable, community-driven research software practices across the #EOSC ecosystem.

Whoaaaaa after coming to #cern for 33 years ( yes I’m thát old!) there FINALLY is a gym in the CERN hostel 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Remember how #CERN banned Russian scientists after the invasion of Ukraine? I wonder if US scientists will get the same treatment.
(I have my money on US dollars being more valuable than roubles.)

Meilenstein am Large Hadron Collider: Mehr als ein Exabyte an Forschungsdaten
Der übergroße Teil der Daten, die am Teilchenbeschleuniger LHC gesammelt werden, wird automatisch aussortiert. Trotzdem wurde jetzt über ein Exabyte archiviert.

Large Hadron Collider macht wieder Winterpause: Bald nächste große Aufrüstung
Nach einem erneuten Rekordjahr wurde der weltgrößte Teilchenbeschleuniger Anfang der Woche heruntergefahren. Mitte 2026 beginnt die nächste große Aufrüstung.

"Vor 10 Jahren noch Science-Fiction": Antimaterieproduktion am CERN beschleunigt
Dauerte die Produktion größerer Mengen von Antiwasserstoff vor Jahren noch wochenlang, reicht inzwischen eine einzige Nacht. Das hilft der Grundlagenforschung.

@heiseonline Huuuh, cool 😴😉😅
Weiß noch, wie das losging mit CERN, #Kernfusion sollte verstanden sein, verbesserte Materialien sollten ermöglicht werden, das #Energieproblem der Menschheit sollte gelöst sein. Leider ist nix davon eingetreten, oder?!
Was hat das bisher so gesamt gekostet, mindestens 10 Milliarden €?
Ich glaube ja, die größte Errungenschaft des CERN ist das #worldwideweb 😂 und das verschlingt eher Unmengen an Energie.
