Dear Summer Students,
We warmly invite you to our Welcome Session on the first day of your contract (3rd of June) at CERN at 08:45 in 13/2-005, close to CERN Meyrin Gate B (Main Entrance).
You will meet us directly there. We will provide you with your individual welcome handbooks and before our presentation starts at 09:15, you will have the chance to have a small breakfast with us.
We look forward to meeting you soon. Please note the welcome session is mandatory.
Best regards,
Anastasija & Kristin (Member/Associate Member State Programme) and Ernest (Non-Member State Programme)
Important Information, please read the following carefully:
Please note that it is mandatory for everyone at the CERN site to wear a valid access badge at all times.
You will have to complete the following steps:
1. If not yet done, create your CERN computing account. You can request the activation of your account by sending an email to the CERN Service Desk at service-desk@cern.ch attaching a copy of your identity card or passport. Once activated you will have 5 days to pass the mandatory online security courses afterwards (you will receive this notification).
2. Upload a digital photo for your CERN site access card before WEDNESDAY 29th of May, which will be created and ready for you to collect from building 55 next to CERN Meyrin Site Gate B (Main Entrance) when you arrive at CERN. Please bring your ID to show when you collect your card.
If you wish to enter the CERN sites with a vehicle, you must register it online on https://vehicles.cern.ch/vehicles/ (please note the validation process can take up to 48 hours, so please ensure you do this well in advance).
Please note: if you come to CERN before your contract start date and have a CERN hotel reservation, the security guard at Gate B will let you onto the CERN site if you show proof of your hotel reservation. If your access card is not ready to collect from the security guard, you must collect your access card from building 55 on your contract start date.
