Where the WEB was born
In the offices of this corridor, all the fundamental technologies of the World
Wide Web were developed.

Started in 1990 from a proposal by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989, the effort
was first divided between an office in building 31 of the Computing
and Networking Division (CN) and one in building 2 of the Electronics
and Computing for Physics Division (ECP).

In 1991 the team came together in these offices, then belonging to ECP.
It was composed of two CERN staff members, Tim Berners-Lee (TB) and 
Robert Calliau (RC), aided by a number of Fellows, Technical Students,
a Coopérant and Summer Students.

At the end of 1994 Tim Berners-Lee left CERN to direct the WWW
consortium (W3C), a world-wide organization devoted to leading the
Web to its full potential. The W3C was founded with the help of CERN,
the European Commission, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
(MIT), the Institut National pour la Recherche en Informatique et
en Automatique (INRIA), and the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA).

In 1995 Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Calliau received the ACM Software System
Award for the World Wide Web. In 2004, Tim Berners-Lee was awarded the first
Miliennium Technology Prize by the Finnish Technology Award Foundation.
