Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire
It is a European research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. Established in 1954, the organization is based in a northwest suburb of Geneva on the Franco–Swiss border and has 21 member states.
Israel is the first (and currently only) non-European country granted full membership.
The touch screen widely used in smartphones was also first developed by CERN.
Agreements:-
Indian Scientists from the Departments of Atomic Energy and Science & Technology to become associated member of the body was mooted by the Government in August 2015.
The major advantage of this will entitle India to become a part of huge scientific and technological endeavour.
This will also offer an opportunity to Indian industry to bid for CERN contracts for industrial collaboration in advanced technologies.
