The Staff Association would first of all like to thank the employed and associated members of personnel who participated in large numbers in the public meeting on 2 December.

Life within the Staff Association (SA) is punctuated - on a daily basis - by the circumstances in which it must invest, while respecting its own Statutes.

But there are also other formal and important moments that are unavoidable.

The next GAC Information session will take place on Tuesday 30 November from 1.30 pm to 4.00 pm

The election of the Staff Council for the period 2022-2023 is now over. Of course, we also thank all those who stood as candidates and expressed their commitment to defend the interests of the personnel and of CERN actively.
