CERN Alumni Weekly News | International Day of Women and Girls in Science, EU-funded challenge for students, R1 Talks
You might wonder how the Office for Alumni Relations selects the speakers, panellists and interviewees who feature in our various events and articles on alumni.cern. Our selection is often made thanks to the information you share with us on the platform (professional experience, education, current location, skills and a picture). Currently only 30% of our members have a complete profile, meaning we are missing out on shining a spotlight on many of our members. Please dedicate a few moments to completing your profile (you can even import it from LinkedIn). Update your profile now: https://alumni.cern/me/show
