As the Geneva-based organization CERN prepares to expel hundreds of scientists from Russian institutions, the decision marks a significant shift in international scientific collaboration due to geopolitical tensions.
CERN has decided to sever its long-standing ties with the Russian Federation, which have existed for nearly 60 years, citing the unlawful use of force in Ukraine.
The Council's resolution to terminate the cooperation agreement with Russia underscores a broader impact of current geopolitical conflicts on scientific communities, emphasizing the precarious balance between collaboration and national interests.
Despite ending agreements with Russia and Belarus for their national institutes, CERN has committed to maintaining partnerships with the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, highlighting the complexity of scientific diplomacy.
