An encyclopedia open to include any detail relevant to CERN

This work is a result of two student projects:
Concept: Lydia Pieper

Technical implementation: Hridyesh Gupta

Now it is up to the CERN community to fill it with content!

About CERNipedia

CERNipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia dedicated to documenting the work, discoveries, and people of CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). The information in CERNipedia might be too detailed for the regular Wikipedia or does not meet the notability requirements. Articles in CERNipedia can be moved to Wikipedia as the situation evolves. Our goal is to make detailed information about particle physics, groundbreaking experiments, accelerators and colliders, and CERN’s impact accessible to everyone.
