DIVERSITY
|
Building on the 25 by’25 momentum, the Diversity & Inclusion Programme has launched Inclusion Matters, featuring 50 Inc. — a plan to co-create 50 practical actions that improve inclusion over the next five years. Already, 20 proposals have been submitted, including ideas to improve accessibility, create quiet zones, increase women speakers at events, use more inclusive language, and visibly support the Pride community. Read more in the CERN Bulletin You can take part by submitting your own proposal or contacting the ALICE Diversity Office: alice-diversity-office@cern.ch |
- "E-learning course “Ethics at CERN” for all CERN personnel":
To ensure that everyone is aware of the guidelines of our ethical framework, the HR Department has developed an e-learning course entitled “Ethics at CERN”, which is available in English and French on the CERN Learning Hub. As of now, this course is mandatory for all members of the CERN personnel. Ethics at CERN
- "Inclusion Matters: CERN’s new participatory inclusion initiative" A new “Inclusion Matters.” initiative invites the CERN community to co-create 50 visible and tangible inclusion actions by 2030.
