Geneva, 18 September – <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>CERN<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ESA<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ESO<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> and UNESCO, in partnership with the Italian Institute of Astrophysics (INAF), invite the public to participate in \u201cOrigins 2013\u201d, an exceptional event to take place simultaneously in Geneva, Paris and Bologna on European researchers\u2019 night, Friday 27 September. People from around the world can follow the event live via a webcast.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What do particle physics, astrophysics and space research have in common? They all address fundamental questions that link to our origins: from the origin of matter to the origin of the Universe. In the past months, the Large Hadron Collider, with the discovery of a Higgs boson, and the Planck satellite, with the release of the most precise picture of the very early Universe, have achieved major scientific breakthroughs. In addition, the revolutionary ALMA telescope was recently inaugurated in Chile and will enable unprecedented views of the cosmos. \u201cOrigins 2013\u201d will showcase these fascinating scientific endeavours with strong European leadership. This unique event highlights the link between the infinitely small of particle physics and the infinitely large of astrophysics. Researchers in the two fields will share their passion with the general public.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>The public at CERN <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>in Geneva, UNESCO headquarters in Paris and in the city centre of Bologna will be taken on a journey back in time and space, to find out more about the origins of the Universe from a sudden expansion of space 13.8 billion years ago. In the three locations, visitors will be able to meet the researchers who took part in these scientific achievements through face-to-face \u201cspeed-dating\u201d discussions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cWith Origins 2013, we want to celebrate the thousands of researchers who, through their work at frontier scientific instruments such as the LHC and Planck, are contributing to deepen our understanding of the origin of the Universe providing a new picture of its early moments\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span>, said Sergio Bertolucci, CERN\u2019s Director for Research and Computing, who will open the CERN event on Friday with Mark McCaughrean, Head of ESA\u2019s Research and Scientific Support Department, and, in a videoconference connection with Paris, with Gretchen Kalonji, UNESCO\u2019s Assistant Director-General for Natural Sciences and Fernando Doblas, Head of ESA\u2019s Communications Department.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

INAF<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> is organising the event in Bologna, and many researchers from partner institutions, such as <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>INFN<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> in Italy and <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>CNRS<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> and <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>CEA<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> in France, will talk to the local and online audiences during the live webcast streamed simultaneously from Paris, Geneva and Bologna. Among the guest scientists on stage, there will be: Fran\u00e7ois Englert, one of the theorists who predicted the existence of the Higgs particle, and Fran\u00e7ois Bouchet, deputy principal investigator for Planck\u2019s High Frequency Instrument, in Paris; Nobel Laureate Sam Ting with Fabiola Gianotti and Joe Incandela (the two physicists leading the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the moment of the Higgs discovery announcement) in Geneva and Giovanni Fabrizio Bignami, INAF\u2019s President, Fernando Ferroni, INFN President and Marco Bersanelli, deputy principal investigator for Planck\u2019s Low Frequency Instrument, in Bologna. Video conferences will link the three European cities to ESA\u2019s Planck\u2019s operations centre in Darmstadt, with Nazzareno Mandolesi, principal investigator of Planck\u2019s Low Frequency Instrument, and to remote venues, such as ESO\u2019s ALMA telescope site in the Atacama desert (Chile), the International Space Station, with ESA\u2019s astronaut Luca Parmitano, and the LHC tunnel, 100 metres underground.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
