Welcome to the D&I website of the FAP department. As everywhere across the Organisation also we in FAP consider the objectives and values of the D&I programme very important.

This site will give you some information concerning the core areas, namely to work towards reducing clusters of gender or nationality in various groups and to foster diversity in the Department.

Furthermore, in line with CERN’s policy, the most important actions of the D&I initiatives are shown and will regularly be updated with events and actions that are planned to address them.

 A big thank you from my side to the FAP D&I officers Laura and Fabio.

 All the best

Florian
