Call for volunteers

CERN is calling for volunteers from all members of the Laboratory for organizing the two exceptional Open days.

CERN is calling for volunteers from all members of the Laboratory’s personnel to help with the organisation of these two exceptional Open Days, for the visits of CERN personnel and their families on the Saturday and above all for the major public Open Day on the Sunday. As for the 50th anniversary in 2004, the success of the Open Days will depend on a large number of volunteers. All those working for CERN as well as retired members of the personnel can contribute to making this event a success. Many guides will be needed at the LHC points, for the activities at the surface and to man the reception and information points. The aim of these major Open Days is to give the local populations the opportunity to discover the fruits of almost 20 years of work carried out at CERN. We are hoping for some 2000 volunteers for the two Open Days, on the Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on the Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Volunteers from retired members of the personnel will be welcome, particularly for the Saturday. All volunteers will be given prior training and will be provided with suitable clothing for the Open Day and a meal and a souvenir on the day itself.

We invite as many of you as possible to sign up as volunteers! You can sign up here.

The form is also available from the CERN user's page.
