CERN Science Gateway – a vision articulated by CERN Director-General Fabiola Gianotti in January 2017, entirely funded through external donations, and now open to the public just three years after Geneva authorities gave the green light for construction – offers up to half a million people per year a chance to be infused with physics. This special issue goes behind the scenes of Science Gateway’s content and explores broader aspects of education, communication and outreach in particle physics – including the vital role of physicists.
