Description
The role of diversity in advancing scientific research is undeniable. Achieving success in physics not only entails rigorous research but also involves collaboration, conference participation, and networking. Nevertheless, members of the LGBTQ+ community encounter unique challenges and obstacles that impede their progression within the field.
This poster spotlights the LGBTQ+ CERN group, a recognized Informal Network at CERN dedicated to creating a supportive space for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, intersex, asexual, genderqueer, and other LGBTQ+ individuals, as well as welcoming friends and allies.
Exploring the professional journeys of LGBTQ+ CERN members in high energy physics, this poster examines the group's initiatives to engage both the LGBTQ+ community and the wider CERN community. Additionally, it underscores actionable measures to cultivate a work environment that is inclusive and supportive for all members of the scientific community.
