CERN is also the birthplace of the World Wide Web and one of the largest data processing facilities for experimental-data analysis. CERN has become a facility for the development of grid computing, hosting projects including the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) and LHC Computing Grid.
CERN is a unique research lab with 2,513 staff members, 12,313 visiting fellows, associates, apprentices as well as scientists and engineers.
