Editorial use only. This image may not be used to state or imply endorsement by CERN of any product, activity or service 20 years of the World Wide Web. Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau (born 1947) with the world's first web server. This NeXT machine was set up by Cailliau and British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee in December 1990 at CERN, the European centre for particle physics near Geneva, Switzerland. Cailliau was a systems engineer at CERN. Their development of the hypertext system, originally intended to improve data communication between particle physicists, made the World Wide Web possible. Cailliau retired in 2005. Photographed at CERN on 15 August 2009, during celebrations of 20 years of the World Wide Web.
