Following the 2008 financial market crash, the CERN Council adopted a balanced package of measures which formally committed staff, pensioners and the Organisation to contribute together to achieve a balanced Pension Fund by 2041.

In an Organisation like ours, the rights that govern our employment and working conditions are different from those applicable if we were working for an employer in one of our Member States, which is subject to national laws.

The Staff Association would first like to thank the Employed and Associated members of personnel who participated in large numbers during the public meeting of September 24.

All the staff members, fellows and associated members of personnel who are members of the Staff Association can engage and submit their application until October 15 at 5 pm.

Since almost a year and half, the health situation still does not allow a cocktail in person, so the Association has adapted once again to the context by organizing on Wednesday 15 September a remote “cocktail” with all the delegations of the Member States and Associate Member States and their “Ambassadors” of the Association.
