Meet our February 2026 CAN-doers of the Month (02/2026)
What is it about?
Last year, the Office for Alumni Relations launched an exciting new engagement programme to shine a light on the energy, time and passion that our most active CERN Alumni Network (CAN) members—our “CAN-doers”—bring to the community.
Every action you take to strengthen our network—whether it’s mentoring a fellow alum, posting job opportunities, speaking at an event, or even just keeping your profile updated—now earns you digital badges, visible on your alumni.cern profile.
There are up to 16 badges to collect, and each one celebrates your unique contribution to our global community.
But we didn’t stop there. Beyond showcasing your badges, we’re excited to spotlight individuals who go above and beyond. Every month, we randomly select three standout CAN-doers—one from each engagement category (Volunteering, Communication and Experiential)—to feature and celebrate.
