Tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to CERN?

My name is Giorgia, and I’m from Italy — specifically from a small town in the south of  Sardinia. After high school, I decided to leave my homeland, which was starting to feel a bit limiting, to follow my passion for the fascinating world of physics. My first stop was Trieste, an international city that gave me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world.

Could you tell us a bit about yourself and what motivated you to come to CERN? 
My name is Jiří Jalůvka, I’m 25 years old, and I’m currently studying space engineering. Ever since I started university, I’ve always been most passionate about courses that were deeply rooted in Physics. I was never satisfied just plugging numbers into formulas, I always wanted to understand the principles behind them. I liked to dig deeper and really get to the bottom of things.

Tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to CERN?
I am an undergraduate in Computer Science and Machine Learning at the University of Bath, UK. I applied to CERN because its mission and values strongly align with my own (international, social, environmental, open science). Additionally, the opportunity to work at the forefront of technology and science was one I didn’t want to miss.

The 12th annual Berlin Firefighter Stair Run was held on May 4, 2024, at Alexanderplatz in Berlin, Germany. Firefighters from different European nations gathered to race up the 39 floors of the Park Inn Hotel – in full equipment, including heavy breathing equipment, weighing approximately in total.
