  • ALICE Inclusive Teamwork Workshop. The workshop consists of two online interactive sessions led by Thriving Talent and focuses on inclusive teamwork, trust, communication, and creating a positive working environment in ALICE. Still, many places are available per group. Priority will be given to ALICE members in coordination and leadership roles, but all ALICE members are welcome to apply. We kindly ask registered participants to attend both sessions
     
  • "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
