He thus joined Louis Pouzin, a pioneer of the Internet, in this Pantheon. In fact, they are the only French nationals to have received this high honor.<br \/>\n\u201cCERN is known as the birthplace of the Web, but less so for its contribution to the development of the Internet,\u201d says Fran\u00e7ois Fl\u00fcckiger. \u201cIn the early 1990s, CERN was the largest Internet platform in Europe, and 80 percent of the Web\u2019s capacity was located in what was then the CERN Computing Center.\u201d<br \/>\nAs director of the CERN School of Computing from 2003 to 2013, his responsibilities also included managing the CERN World Wide Web team after the Web\u2019s inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, left for MIT (USA). In 1994, he organized \u201cthe first-ever release of the CERN web software.\u201d<br \/>\nPreviously, he had already been a passionate advocate for the promotion of the Internet in Europe. In 1988, he organized the founding meeting of the organization R\u00e9seaux IP Europ\u00e9ens (RIPE), which oversees the technical coordination of the Internet infrastructure, and in 1992, he helped create Ebone, the pan-European Internet backbone.<br \/>\nHe has also served on the advisory boards of the Internet Society (ISOC) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), taught as a lecturer at the University of Geneva, and authored the textbook *Understanding Networked Multimedia* and more than 80 articles.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"pmt\">Registration<\/h4>\n<p><a class=\"weezevent-widget-integration\" title=\"Online Ticketing Software\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weezevent.com\/\/?c=sys_widget\" target=\"_blank\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.weezevent.com\/widget_billeterie.php?id_evenement=178975&#038;lg_billetterie=1&#038;code=41878&#038;resize=1&#038;width_auto=1&#038;color_primary=00AEEF\" data-width=\"650\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"178975\" data-resize=\"1\" data-width_auto=\"1\" data-noscroll=\"0\" data-nopb=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Weezevent Ticket Office<\/a><script src=\"https:\/\/www.weezevent.com\/js\/widget\/min\/widget.min.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Development of Digital Technology: From the Creation of the Web to the Fourth Industrial Revolution<br \/>\nASAGE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[327],"class_list":["post-45858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-past-events","tag-335","tag-geneva"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
