Bulgaria became a member in 1999.
Co-operation between Bulgaria and CERN started in the 1980s with the participation of Bulgarian physicists in the L3 experiment at LEP.
Bulgarian scientists, engineers and technicians are involved in different experiments at CERN, though the main efforts are concentrated on CMS. Bulgarian specialists are also very active in the LHC Computing Grid LCG, in EGEE, and SEEGRID. Bulgaria’s membership in CERN provides important new perspectives for the professional development of a young generation of physicists and IT specialists.
