Inauguration of the educational and outreach centre DUROCERN (Discover the Universe with Romania at CERN) at the Institute of Atomic Physics (IFA) headquarters. Centre DUROCERN emerged from the project “Discover the Universe with Romania at CERN” funded during 2023-2024 by the Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitalization through the CERN-RO Programme managed by IFA. The aim of the centre is to offer a glimpse behind the scenes of the main facilities at CERN in order to stimulate the enthusiasm and interest in science for both students and the general public. It will also present the main contributions of the Romanian teams at CERN experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, LHCb, ISOLDE, n_TOF, NA62, NA65, NP02, RD50), through explanatory posters, samples of detectors and associated electronics, interactive functional tracking devices, movies, details on the accelerators, detectors and electronics principles. The centre will also offer remote access to different laboratories and to CERN main experiments or similar exhibitions, and, last but not least, it will unveil at an informational and educational level, the physics phenomena under investigation. DUROCERN is addressed to all categories of visitors, from pupils, high-school students and teachers, science policy makers, and general public.
