If CERN is the subject of this end of November's thematic dossier of , it is because the creation of CERN, the role played by physicists - many of whom were involved in research on the atomic bomb during the Second World War - and the very strong links between the CERN project and international Geneva are eminently important.

This first episode of the geneveMonde.ch podcast, however, focuses on other characteristic aspects of CERN's history: the criticisms, fears and social contestation that have existed over the decades.

This podcast is hosted by journalist David Glaser and historian Véronique Stenger (University of Geneva) and is edited by FONSART.
