The Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs has informed CERN of the conditions and means of access to the French labour market
Switzerland and France facilitate the entry of members of the Organization’s personnel on to their territories
New results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC reveal how strongly the Higgs boson interacts with the heaviest known elementary particle, the top quark, corroborating our understanding of the Higgs and setting constraints on new physics.
The SMB department has decided to allow vehicle access to the Prévessin site via the Chemin du Moulin des Ponts entrance from 4 June to 13 July 2018
Members of the personnel have until 31 August 2018 to submit claims for the reimbursement of education fees relating to the 2016/2017 school year
Members of the personnel are reminded that they are obliged to declare any change in family situation
Mobility concerns us all. To find out just how much, the Mobility Working Group is launching a two-part survey
EASITrain organizes a school on applied superconductivity from 3 to 14 September 2018 in Vienna, Austria
Agenda for the meeting to be held on Tuesday, 5 June 2018 at 9:15 a.m. in Room Georges Charpak (Room F, 60/6-015)
Discover the new aerial photos of CERN taken by drone at gis.cern.ch. You’ll be amazed by the level of detail
More than 450 physicists and engineers took part in the first workshop to define CERN’s experimental programme from 2020 onwards
By responding to a survey about how you travel to, from and around CERN, you will help new mobility proposals to be drawn up
