DOI: 10.1063/PT.4.0963
Romania has formally joined CERN as a candidate for accession to membership.
The agreement was signed between Romanian Minister of Education, Research, Youth and Sport, Daniel Petru Funeriu (left in image), and CERN Director General, Rolf Heuer earlier today.
Romania’s pre-membership will cover a five-year period during which the country’s contributions will ramp up to normal member state levels, in parallel with Romania’s participation in CERN projects.
At the end of this five-year period the Council will decide on Romania’s application for full membership, as the Organization’s 21st Member State.
