Following initial contacts with theoretical physicists at CERN and via experimental collaborations with ALICE groups in Mexico and Italy, senior Cuban physicists visited CERN in 2002 and 2003. They expressed interest in collaboration in medical physics as well as in particle and nuclear physics and Grid computing.
A Cuban institution was accepted into the ALICE collaboration in 2003.
Cuba participates in the HELEN and EELA programmes, and some Cuban scientists are currently working at CERN, but the extent of the co-operation is limited in the absence of a Co-operation Agreement. Cuban physicists are now proposing to their authorities a roadmap for greater collaboration with CERN.
