30 years of a free and open Web

30 years ago, on 30 April 1993, CERN made an important announcement. Walter Hoogland and Helmut Weber, respectively the Director of Research and Director of Administration at the time, decided to publicly release the tool that Tim Berners-Lee had first proposed in 1989 to allow scientists and institutes working on #CERN data all over the globe to share information accurately and quickly. Little did they know how much it would change the world.

CERN released the #WorldWideWeb to the public.
