CERN welcomes Estonia as its 24th Member State

On 30 August 2024, CERN welcomed Estonia as a new member. Estonia will become the first Baltic country to join CERN as a full Member State. The bilateral relationship formally began in 1996, when Estonia and CERN signed a first cooperation agreement. From 1 February 2021 onwards, Estonia had the status of an associated member state. As a CERN Member State, Estonia will have voting rights in the Council, CERN’s highest decision-making authority. Membership will enhance opportunities for Estonian nationals to be recruited by CERN and for Estonian industry to bid for CERN contracts.
