Estonia's government has officially ratified the country's full membership in the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), marking a significant milestone for the Baltic nation. This decision grants Estonian companies, scientists, and teachers complete access to one of Europe's leading research and scientific organizations.
With a population of 1.3 million, Estonia had been an associate member of CERN since February 2021. Following a favorable vote by the current CERN countries in March, Estonia is set to become the 24th member of the prestigious organization, headquartered in a suburb of Geneva on the Switzerland-French border.
