description <!--HTML--><p><em>Lecture will be in English&ndash; Translation available in French</em></p> <p>Without any doubt, CERN can be described as being among the most ambitious scientific enterprises ever undertaken. For 60 years, the Member States have not only invested considerable financial means into this institution, but have also supported the creation of a highly visionary research programme. And this has led to a change in the way science is done, as captured by the idea of &quot;big science&quot;.</p> <p>Yet this naturally also raises a number of quite fundamental questions: How did the meaning of &quot;doing science&quot; change? What justifies societal engagement with and support for such a cost-intensive long-term scientific undertaking? And finally, in what ways does (and did) this research enterprise contribute to the development of contemporary societies?</p> <p>By focusing on some key examples, the talk will thus explore how the ways of doing research and scientific and societal relations have undergone change over the history of CERN. This will allow an understanding of the many ways in which the development of research and contemporary societies are intertwined.</p> <p>___________</p> <p><em><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Conf&eacute;rence en anglais &ndash; Traduction simultan&eacute;e en fran&ccedil;ais</span></em></p> <p>Le CERN peut sans aucun doute &ecirc;tre d&eacute;crit comme l&rsquo;un des projets scientifiques les plus ambitieux jamais entrepris.
