Swissinfo talks to Herwig Schopper, former CERN director, the grandfather of the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, who helped promote peace through a Middle Eastern science hub and has his qualms about the Nobel Prize. If Herwig Schopper has learned anything during his 100 years on Earth, it’s that breakthroughs only happen when we work together.

Please read here this interview and the full biography of Herwig Schopper,  and please come to Swissinfo.ch  for more of our science stories from Switzerland.
