CERN Alumni Weekly News | CAN-Doers of the month, Spotlight on Marta Garcia Sanchez, 8th Anniversary of the Network, Regional groups events, AlixPartners

The CERN Alumni Engagement Programme has been live for nearly two months, and we’re thrilled to launch a new tradition: each month, we’ll spotlight three exceptional “CAN-doers” whose contributions keep our network thriving. Curious who made the list this month? Meet June’s CAN-doers: https://alumni.cern/news/2685680

And to honour the wider community that connects us, we’re inviting you to join us on 24 June for a live online event marking the 8th anniversary of the CERN Alumni Network. It’s a moment to recognise the many paths taken since CERN, to hear from fellow alumni working in quantum and beyond, and to reflect on what this network means to all of us: https://alumni.cern/events/182779

Don’t miss the story of CERN alumna Marta Garcia Sanchez, who shares how she transitioned from CERN to a career in international taxation: https://alumni.cern/news/2683376

Join our final Virtual Company Showroom of the season on 20 June. We’ll be in conversation with an alum from AlixPartners, exploring the field and sharing job opportunities that could shape your next step.https://alumni.cern/events/181361

Your chance to grow your network is right in your neighbourhood! Join the upcoming regional meet-ups in these cities: 

• Vienna on 17 June (Pub event): https://alumni.cern/events/179742
• Berlin on 20 June (Night at the observatory): https://alumni.cern/events/179777

Back in 2020, we asked for your thoughts on how the CERN Alumni Network could serve you better. Your input helped shape a community that’s nearly doubled in size, growing from under 5,000 to almost 11,000 members. Now, as we look ahead, it’s time to hear from you again. In just a few weeks, we’ll be launching a new survey to understand your needs, priorities and aspirations better. Your feedback will be the compass for the next chapter of our journey—helping us tailor the network to serve you even more meaningfully. Stay tuned, and be ready to share your voice!
