Volunteer now! (Image: CERN)
At the end of September we expect a huge number of visitors for the Open Days. You, the volunteers, are the key without which the Laboratory’s doors could not really open. Sign up now!
Why volunteer?
To be a volunteer during the Open Days is to serve the Organisation for half a day (or more) and reply positively to the Director-General's request. Come and strengthen our teams, help make the Open Days a success and seize this opportunity to
- take part in a unique and friendly event which only occurs every four to five years
- be an ambassador for CERN - be proud to talk about your areas of work and welcome the visitors to our sites
- meet new colleagues
Who can volunteer?
All CERN people, no matter the contract, aged 18 and over. Retirees, family members of CERN people and ex-CERN people are also welcome. If you don’t/no longer have a CERN computing account, please create a lightweight account.
What reward?
The volunteers will receive training tailored to their role and, as with all Open Days, as well as having the satisfaction of being able to say “I was there!” they will be given exclusive OpenDays 2013-branded clothing. Volunteers will also be provided with packed lunches and drinks. Last but not least, through the visits service places will be exclusively reserved for volunteers of the Open Days in LHC visits.
The online sign-up is now ready and we hope that a large number of people will volunteer straight away. This will give us time to organize the troops and assign roles according to preferences and needs (descriptions of the roles can be found on the website). So what are you waiting for? Click here!
