"The Stories of CERN" project will carry out a photo-ethnographic study of CERN staff and deliver a catalogue of digital documentary photographic portraits and accompanying textual narratives showcasing the human side of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research. As its original contribution, the project will focus on "ordinary" CERN employees - those who contribute greatly to the laboratory's operations and scientific successes, but who typically remain hidden from the public eye. The intimate environmental portraits will show the study participants in their own work environment and other places at CERN they spend time at and the narratives - to be devised based on in-depth personal interviews - will present a summary of their educational and professional backgrounds and attitudes towards the work at CERN. "The Stories of CERN" catalogue of portraits and narratives will serve as a set of role models to motivate the new generations of STEM professionals and enthusiasts. The digital catalogue will be used as a resource to develop different educational and promotional tools and activities to be disseminated through INSPIRE - the new STEM Learning Centre at Brunel University. The details of INSPIRE are presented in the enclosed Case for Support. As the world-leading research and engineering facility operating the largest particle physics laboratory in the world, CERN has been delivering ground breaking science and technology outputs for decades. The results of the research work being carried out in CERN are highly inspirational not only for the scientific community and others already involved in STEM; they also continuously inspire the public at large. CERN is seen as a dream employer by many young people studying STEM-related subjects and many of the youngsters that are unsure about their future career choices become interested in STEM when they learn about CERN activities during visits to the facilities in Switzerland or via other means.

“ CERN的故事”项目将对CERN员工进行摄影研究，并提供数字纪录片肖像的目录，并随附的文本叙事展示了欧洲核研究组织的人类方面。作为其最初的贡献，该项目将集中于“普通”的CERN员工 - 那些为实验室的运营和科学成功做出了巨大贡献的人，但通常仍然隐藏在公众眼中。亲密的环境肖像将显示研究参与者在他们自己的工作环境中以及他们在CERN上花费时间的其他地方，叙事 - 将根据深入的个人访谈设计 - 将介绍其教育和专业背景和对CERN工作的教育和专业背景和态度。肖像画和叙事的“欧洲核子研究故事”将成为一组榜样，以激发新一代的STEM专业人士和发烧友。数字目录将被用作一种资源，以开发不同的教育和促销工具和活动，以通过Inspire（Brunel University的新STEM学习中心）传播。 Inspire的细节在封闭的案例中提供了支持。作为世界领先的研究和工程机构运营世界上最大的粒子物理实验室，CERN数十年来一直在提供地面破坏科学和技术的成果。在CERN进行的研究工作的结果不仅对科学界和已经参与STEM的其他人具有很高的启发性。他们还不断启发整个公众。 CERN被许多研究与STEM相关的学科的年轻人视为梦想中的雇主，而许多年轻人在访问瑞士的设施或通过其他方式访问期间了解CERN活动时，他们对未来职业选择的不确定会对STEM感兴趣。
