The formal approval of CERN's LHC protonproton collider by CERN's governing body, Council, in December 1994, included provision for generous additional contributions from CERN's two Host States, France and Switzerland. The substantial French contribution, mainly earmarked for LHC, is the subject of a special agreement between CERN, the French Atomic Energy Agency (CEA) and the National Institute for Nuclear and Particle Physics (IN2P3). At the formal signing of this agreement in Paris in February were (left to right) IN2P3 Director Claude Detraz, CEA Administrator General Yannick d'Escatha and Guy Aubert, Director of the National Scientific Research Council (CNRS). md5:d070897329539508cf065c2370693497	302.2 kB	Preview Download
Portuguese Minister for Science and Technoiogy Jose Mariano Gago (left) inspects a prototype superconducting magnet for CERN's forthcoming LHC collider with LHC Project Director Lyn Evans. As prominent particle physicist, Professor Gago played a vital role in his country's decision to join CERN. md5:f47d42e51419266a86a5f7d88dfe916f	230.3 kB	Preview Download

How the Web was won. CERN's Robert Cailliau speaks at the 1995 awards ceremony of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), where he shared the prestigious Software System Prize with Tim Berners-Lee, formerly of CERN and now at MIT, for their invention of the World Wide Web. Behind Robert are (left to right) Gene Hoffnagle of IBM, Eric Bina of Netscape, who shared another ACM prize with Marc Andreessen for their development of the NCSA Mosaic Web browser, and ACM President Stuart Zweben. md5:7b2cd75d2ec5eb0638a142f88f333779	499.8 kB	Preview Download
The World Wide Web was designed to enable physicists to access information, wherever they were or wherever they worked. With the Web quickly outgrowing its physics origins and going on to become the Internet sensation of the 1990s, in many sectors CERN has become best known as 'the home of the Web'. The dizzy rate of Internet and Web progress has its own special timescale - at CERN, the 'Next' cube on which the first Web browser was developed in 1990 is now a museum piece. md5:c989052b4eec1808c83cc7447a06f2a9	353.7 kB	Preview Download
On 19 March, an event at CERN's Theory Division marked the 70th birthday of Yoshio Yamaguchi (left), who many years ago was one of the first Japanese to work at CERN and who over the years has played a vital role in promoting CERN - Japan relations. Seen here with Yoshio and his wife Yoriko is CERN Theory stalwart Torleif Ericson. md5:12aefbb73318a9eba25501adf4b4d2e8	161.3 kB	Preview Download
Achim Richter, Director of the Institut fur Kernphysik at Darmstadt's Technische Hochschule and Chairman of CERN's ISOLDE Experiments Committee, received an honorary doctorate from the University of Gent, Belgium, on the occasion of the University's 'Dies Natal is' on 22 March for his work in nuclear physics and his continuing efforts to support high quality basic research at CERN's ISOLDE on-line isotope separato. md5:287acfa50d431dcb4716ade328be0dd0	436.2 kB	Preview Download
