From CERN:
The new Dance and Performance prize funded by the City and Canton of Geneva is open to choreographers and performers born in Geneva, or artists from any country currently working in Geneva.
The Collide@CERN Geneva prize for Dance and Performance celebrates Geneva as an important place for both the arts and science – past, present and future.

The winning artist will be assigned a special science inspiration partner and have an office on site.
The prize also includes a grant of up to 15,000CHF to cover the costs of developing a new CERN-inspired work during the 3-month residency.
