CERN70: been there, done that, got the T-shirt (and more...)?

Following the sellout success of the T-shirts at the CERN70 Community Event and the overwhelming demand since then, the CERN70 team is releasing a second – and final – edition of the official T-shirt.

This limited-edition collector’s item is available for 8 CHF. Adult T-shirts are now being offered in five sizes (S, M, L, XL and XXL) in both black and white, and children's T-shirts are available in pale blue in two sizes (3–4 years and 7–8 years). Please note that no additional stock will be produced beyond what is ordered through this form.

Orders must be placed by 31 October at the latest, and payment must be completed for the order to be confirmed. To secure yours, simply fill out the order form and complete the online payment.

Orders will be delivered exclusively via internal mail a few weeks after the order deadline. For CERN community members without an internal address, please make arrangements for a person or service at CERN to receive the delivery on your behalf.

Thank you once again for your enthusiasm and for taking part in the Community Event on 17 September; your presence made the celebrations truly extraordinary!

Don't miss: Limited edition CERN70 items available at the CERN shop

The CERN shop at Science Gateway now has a range of CERN70 commemorative items including tote bags and mugs that will allow you to remember this memorable year. Don't forget that your CERN access card entitles you to a 10% discount on the price displayed in the shop.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you with your 70th anniversary souvenirs!

Data privacy – think before you throw!

Tue, 15/10/2024 - 12:43
Data privacy – think before you throw!


Throwing paper documents containing personal data in the waste bin or the recycling can have serious implications for the person concerned, should the information fall into the wrong hands.

How can I safely destroy paper documents containing personal data?

Use a shredder. If you are unsure of where you can find one, contact your departmental secretariat for information.

Furthermore, do not hesitate to spread the word by downloading the poster prepared by the Data Privacy Coordination Committee.

So, don’t let personal data leak… please use a SHREDDER.

 

 

More information on data privacy at CERN can be found on the ODP website or obtained from your departmental data privacy coordinator.

Launch of a new Safety training programme for supervisors

Thu, 10/10/2024 - 14:04
Launch of a new Safety training programme for supervisors

This November will see the launch of a new training programme, “Safety Matters for Supervisors”. This comprehensive training course aims to enhance the integration of Safety management practices into the Organization’s general management practices and thus foster a robust Safety culture at CERN. This initiative is designed to ensure that supervisors at all levels are fully aware of their Safety roles and responsibilities and are equipped with the necessary tools and support.

The programme will cover all facets of Safety at CERN, including occupational health and safety, with a focus on well-being and psycho-social risks, environmental protection and safe operational practices. Participants will receive a comprehensive Safety awareness toolbox, designed to help them develop a strong Safety network and effective management practices, positioning them as active contributors to a sound Safety culture.

Following the success of pilot sessions held in May and June 2024, the regular sessions will commence in November, starting with four sessions per year with the possibility of adding more, if needed. The training will be delivered through a blended format, beginning with three e-learning modules covering key Safety concepts, followed by two interactive workshops that will focus on practical applications and peer-to-peer learning.

The programme is highly recommended for new supervisors in their first year of appointment. Existing supervisors across all levels in both technical and non-technical fields are also encouraged to enrol when places are available. The programme has been aligned with the HR Learning & Development Leadership learning portfolio and approved by the CERN Learning Board, reinforcing the Organization’s commitment to embedding Safety into its core management practices.

Benoît Delille, Head of the HSE unit, sums it up: “This is an excellent opportunity for supervisors to enhance their leadership capabilities and contribute to a safer work environment. We encourage all eligible supervisors to participate in this programme and to take an active role in promoting a strong Safety culture at CERN.”

For more information and to sign up, follow this link.

Take part and help to make CERN a safer place for everyone!

Save the date: environmental Town Hall event – 8 November 2024

Save the date: environmental Town Hall event – 8 November 2024


CERN is committed to minimising its environmental impact through a wide range of projects aimed notably at managing energy use, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, conserving water, protecting biodiversity and managing waste. This Town Hall event will provide an overview of the key initiatives under way and highlight the progress made towards meeting CERN's current environmental targets at the end of Run 3, with an update regarding CERN’s third Environment Report (2021–2022), published in December 2023. You'll also hear about the updated goals for Horizon 2030 and the specific projects designed to achieve them.

This Town Hall event is not just an update – it’s an invitation for you to engage in shaping CERN’s environmental priorities. We’ll discuss how each of us can contribute to making CERN’s operations more sustainable and to meeting the Organization's commitment to environmental responsibility.

We encourage everyone to attend and be part of this important exchange. Your participation is key to our collective success in fostering a sustainable future at CERN. Don’t miss this opportunity to be involved!

When? 9 a.m. to 10.40 a.m., with coffee served at the end
Where? Main Auditorium (500/1-001).
The event will be webcast and a recording will be made available after the event.

Protect yourself and others: get a flu vaccination

Tue, 08/10/2024 - 13:25
Protect yourself and others: get a flu vaccination

The influenza season is approaching and with it comes the consideration of getting a flu vaccination to protect yourself and others.  The CERN infirmary will vaccinate any person working on the CERN site (MPE, MPA, temporary workers and contractors) provided the person brings their own vaccine and that the relevant medical questionnaire at the infirmary confirms there are no contraindications to vaccination. Both conditions have to be met for the vaccination to be administered. A medical prescription will be given to the patient after the vaccination to allow the reimbursement of the vaccine by the person’s health insurance provider.

CERN retirees and family members can obtain the flu vaccination in France or Switzerland from their general practitioner or chemist’s: the vaccination is also be reimbursed by the CHIS according to its own rules.

The infirmary is open for vaccination Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.

For more information, see: https://hse.cern/fluvaccination.

Central heating turned on at Meyrin and Prévessin sites

Tue, 08/10/2024 - 11:54
Central heating turned on at Meyrin and Prévessin sites

Central heating will be progressively turned on throughout CERN from Monday 7 October 2024. All buildings will be heated within the next few days.

Delaying turning on the heating on campus was one of the measures of the Energy Savings campaign launched in 2022 and included in the measures foreseen by the ISO 50001 certification. According to these measures, the heating switch-on is no longer defined on the basis of a regular calendar but on the weather forecast, and more specifically on the average overnight temperature. Each day saved through postponing the heating start represents significant energy savings for the Organization.

We therefore thank everyone for their understanding and supportive efforts.
