Did you know? The first French web server was created in Villeurbanne, near Lyon, in 1992 at the IN2P3 Computing Center (CNRS). At that time, web technology had just been created at CERN, in Geneva, and was intended only for confidential use between physicists, for the exchange of data. Come and discover how and why the Web was born, what difference there is with the Internet but also what the first French website looked like. Daniel Charnay, one of the precursors of the web in France, will also be present to tell how, with his colleague Wojciech Wojcik, he unknowingly participated in the development of a technology now used by all. This animation is offered as part of the CC-IN2P3 computer museum where the NeXTcube workstation that was used for the first web server is on display.

National research infrastructure, the CC-IN2P3 is a unit of the CNRS attached to the IN2P3, the institute that federates research in particle physics, nuclear physics and astroparticle physics. It offers a set of IT services, in particular means of processing and storing large masses of scientific data. The CC-IN2P3 has two computer rooms housing several thousand servers and automated libraries to store nearly 340 petabytes of data on magnetic tapes. The CC-IN2P3 participates in about fifty experiments of international scope and holds a preponderant place with the great experiments of physics of which it manages the data.
