Official information platform

Member network

A network of China's leading particle-physics institutions

From founding institutions to later signatories, CCICC brings together the core of China's participation in CERN experiments, accelerators and computing.

Founding institutions

Six founding institutions

In 2019 these six institutions established the consortium and signed the first CERN–CCICC MoU.

IHEP

Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS中国科学院高能物理研究所

Host of the CCICC Secretariat. Home to BEPCII and LHAASO, IHEP contributes to the LHC experiments, accelerator technology and WLCG distributed computing.

USTC

University of Science and Technology of China中国科学技术大学

A broad programme spanning particle theory, experiment and accelerator technology, with long-standing contributions to LHC physics, detector development and training.

UCAS

University of Chinese Academy of Sciences中国科学院大学

Drawing on CAS's research-and-education network, UCAS brings together particle physics, cosmology and accelerator expertise and trains the next generation of researchers.

PKU

Peking University北京大学

A leading centre for high-energy physics in China, contributing to LHC physics analysis, detector upgrades and frontier theory.

NJU

Nanjing University南京大学

Strong in particle physics experiment, dark-matter detection and scientific computing, with an active international collaboration and training record.

CCNU

Central China Normal University华中师范大学

Known for quark-matter and high-energy heavy-ion research, with sustained involvement in LHC heavy-ion experiments and theory.

Growing membership

16 charter signatories

CCICC continues to welcome universities and institutes engaged with CERN. Sixteen institutions have signed the charter, with several more in the pipeline, strengthening its representation across ATLAS, CMS and beyond.

The full membership list and representatives are published by the Secretariat.

Membership pipeline

Several institutions in the pipeline

Beyond the 16 charter signatories, several more universities and institutes are in the membership process. The full list is published by the Secretariat.
