This image may not be used to state or imply endorsement by CERN of any product, activity or service Tim Berners-Lee (born 1955), British physicist and computer scientist, with an early form of the websites and web browsers that he invented at CERN. Berners-Lee studied at Oxford University. After working in industry he moved to CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva, Switzerland. Between 1989 and 1994, working at CERN, he developed the web, a global network for information sharing based on hypertext documents. In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the Web Consortium W3C, the International Web standards body of which he is the director. Berners-Lee was knighted in 2004. Photographed at CERN on 11 July 1994.
