As we approach the 7th anniversary of the CERN Alumni Network, we are close to reaching 10,000 members! You can help us grow by inviting your friends and former colleagues to join the network. When someone you invite activates their account, both of you will receive a special CERN Alumni gift.
Here's how to do it:
- Log in to alumni.cern.
- Click on your picture in the top right corner.
- Select "Refer a contact."
- You can either invite someone who is not yet a member of the CERN Alumni Network or send a reminder to a friend who hasn’t activated their account yet.
- Personalise your message, and once your friend activates their account, we'll be in touch to ask for your postal address in order to send you your reward.
