I made some amazing friendship and it makes work even more satisfying and effortless.

Hi Maeva, tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to CERN.

Hi Kamran, tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to CERN.
 

The richness of CERN is in its variety of different nationalities and different profiles, all working together for science. 

CERN is a place to thrive and use your talents in this versatile Organization that will challenge you to the furthest extent.

One of the first things I did when I arrived at CERN was to rent a bike. One of the second things I did was to fall off that bike the first time I used it to cycle to work.

Support is found around every corner and there are plenty of people who have personal experience and good advice.

Working at CERN is like a childhood dream coming true.
