"Art and science are essential pillars of society, and artists and scientists share common core-values: curiosity and the passion to understand the world on a deeper level."
So says CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, of its Arts at CERN program, which has been awarded the "Grand Prize for groundbreaking initiatives at the nexus of science, technology, and the arts," per Ars Technica.
The program, funded by the CERN & Society Foundation, "is to facilitate dialogue between artists and the CERN community," per a press release.
Since 2012, more than 250 artists from around the world have been invited to CERN to "experience how fundamental science can address the unresolved questions about our universe, engaging with over 1,000 scientists and the entire vibrant community of CERN," per the release.
This year's winners will be announced Sept.
