Dear Members,
At the end of September 2024, CERN will celebrate its 70th anniversary. You can find the press release by following this link .
Throughout the year, events (conferences, etc.) are planned to mark this event. A full programme can be found here: https://cern70.cern/events/ . Reservations can be made by clicking on the event you are interested in, in principle 3 weeks in advance.
CERN’s success is largely due to your commitment throughout your years as a member of the staff, and we are sure that you will be happy, if you have the opportunity, to attend some of these conferences. Note also that these will generally be broadcast by webcast.
Dear members
At its December 2023 meeting, the GAC-EPA Committee approved its organization for 2024. The main change concerns our representation on the CHIS Board, where Claude Genier replaces David Jacobs (still accompanied by Morna Robillard). As a result, Claude also replaces David among the 7 delegates to the Staff Council. The full organizational chart for 2024 can be found on our website /en/gac-epa-committee/ .
We would like to warmly thank David Jacobs for his twelve years of intense and passionate work on the CHIS Board.
In mid-December, CERN’s Staff Council elected a new Executive Committee for the 2024-2025 term. You can consult the results on the Association’s website: https://staff-association.web.cern.ch/article/results-executive-committee-elections-2024-2025-mandate . On this same page, you will find the programme of work on the basis of which the new team was elected, and you will see that issues that affect pensioners closely are at the heart of this programme.
Dear GAC-EPA Members,
Receive our best wishes for 2024.
May this new year bring you moments of joy, love and success.
Of course, we wish you good health and would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your fidelity and support.
Yours sincerely,
The GAC-EPA Committee
