Description: Animation of the history of CERN membership on a map of Europe. Descriptions of individual frames (each frame displays for one second): Founding CERN member states in 1954–1958 (map of 1989). Belgium, France, Federal Republic of Germany, Italia, Greece, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom, and Yugoslavia. CERN member states in 1959–1960. Austria joined in 1959. CERN member states in 1961–1968 (map borders from 1989). Yugoslavia left, and Spain joined in 1961. CERN member states in 1969–1982 (map borders from 1989). Spain left in 1969. CERN member states in 1983–1984 (map borders from 1989). Spain rejoined in 1983 (so the member states maps of 1961 and 1983 are the same, but do not use this map to show member states between 1961 and 1983 as from 1969 until 1982 including Spain was not a member). CERN member states in 1985–1990 (map borders from 1989). Portugal joined in 1985. CERN member states in 1991 (map borders from 2008: the former Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and USSR are dissolved, each split into several independant countries). Poland joined in 1991, and the former Democratic Republic of Germany was unified within the Federal Republic of Germany. CERN member states in 1992 (map borders from 2008). Hungary joined in 1992. CERN member states in 1993–1988 (map borders from 2008). The Czech Republic and Slovakia joined in 1993. CERN member states in 1999 (map borders from 2008). Bulgaria joined in 1999.
