Celebration of 60 years in experimenting and basic science. Clearly one can see what it takes for real breakthroughs. And how long it can be. Beyond the short time horizones for some R&D, or simple innovation. History teaches us that big jumps in human innovation come about mainly as a basic result of pure curiosity. Innovation is key to meeting many of todays development challenges, and the primary force for innovation is fundamental research. Without it, there would be no science to apply. Faradays experiments on electricity, for example, were driven by curiosity but eventually brought us electric light. No amount of R&D on the candle could ever have done that. Electric light came from innovation driven by fundamental science. Robert Aymar - Former Director-General Of CERN
