After World War II, Niels Bohr played a central role in the development of international scientific institutions to foster collaboration in physics. Internationally, he was instrumental in the establishment of CERN, the European experimental particle physics facility located near Geneva, Switzerland. Additionally, he helped establish the Nordic Institute for Atomic Physics (Nordita), which was situated adjacent to his own institute in Copenhagen.1
On a national level, Bohr was also a key figure in the creation of the research facility at RisĂž, near Roskilde, Denmark, which was established to prepare for the introduction of nuclear power in the country.1
