Don’t miss the open day on 17 February at Cité Seniors: breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea will be offered depending on the time you arrive.

I wish you all a wonderful start to the year!

Invitation to a meeting of the Directorate with the CERN community 16 December at 10:30

The Director General organises a meeting with the personnel on 16 December 2025 at 10:30. She has autorised access to the retransmission to the retirees.

This broadcast should therefore be accessible to all retirees having linked their CERN account with an external one (e.g.   gmail.com, outlook.com, hotmail.com, laposte.fr, etc…) before their departure.

The https://indico.cern.ch/event/1621529/ should be used and authenticated via the « External email – Guest access » link.

The Webcast should then be accessible by clicking the “Watch” button.

To be noted that this is still an experimental procedure and its success therefore cannot be completely guaranteed. Please send a mail to GAC-EPA (office.secretariat@gac-epa.org) for questions or access issues.

PS: the procedure can be tested as of now, but the “Watch” button will only work as of Tuesday.

We apologize for this last-minute announcement to those of you who do not have Guest access. A procedure will be published by the GAC-EPA in early 2026 outlining how to obtain a Verified Guest Account for those who do not already have one.
