CERN Ends Collaboration with Russian Scientists Amid Geopolitical Tensions

The termination follows Russia's invasion of Ukraine, potentially impacting research at the world's largest particle accelerator.

Approximately 1,000 Russian scientists will no longer be part of CERN's experiments due to the decision to cut ties.
The move was prompted by concerns over the political instrumentalization of Russian research institutes.
Despite the end of collaboration, CERN aims to minimize disruptions and maintain scientific output.
Alternative solutions and placements for displaced Russian scientists have been sought in other countries.
Funding gaps from the cessation of Russian contributions are being addressed by other European stakeholders.
