The University of Bahrain joined CMS as an associated institute in February 2019. Resources are being deployed at CERN for two induction projects in the fields of computing and mechanical engineering.

An exhibition on CERN has been produced by the Shaikh Ebrahim bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Center for Culture and Research, with the help of CERN, for display in Bahrain. The exhibition was inaugurated on 9 February 2019 in Muharraq, Bahrain. The same centre in Bahrain is covering the costs of sending two summer students from the University of Bahrain to CERN for the 2019 edition of the CERN Summer Student Programme.
