Among the topics are the 600 MeV synchrocyclotron: laying the foundation, the intersecting storage rings: the first hadron collider, the CERN antiproton program: imagination and audacity rewarded, the large hadron collider: the energy frontier, knowledge and technology: sharing with society, and managing the laboratory and large projects.
The budget allocated by the EU will allow for the provision through CERN (the European Organisation for Nuclear Research) of the electron storage rings used by SESAME.
The facility will house a high-energy and high-intensity accelerator complex with several storage rings and 3.5km of beam lines.
Besides electron-positron colliders, hadron-hadron Colliders (16) were also built, for example the Intersecting Storage Rings which were built at CERN and operated from 1971 to 1984 with a center-of-mass energy of 60 GeV, and the protonanti-proton collider which was also built at CERN and operated from 1981 to 1984 with a center-of-mass energy of up to 630 GeV.

Two posibilities on the horizon are superconducting storage rings and ion-trap "vacuum bottles." Storage devices are considered a critical "enabling tool" for antiproton research, as they would allow the antimatter produced at a source facility to be transported to academic, government, and industrial laboratories conducting the experiments.
