Welcome to our resource guide



This site is dedicated to those of you who are new to CERN or have not yet arrived. All of us expats went through the "newcomer" experience. We created this site hoping to make your transition easier. We found every bit of this information invaluable, and hope this guide on how to “survive and thrive” will help you integrate.

Thanks to those who make the site more useful to us all by sending us any information that you feel is missing, or any tips that you would like to share with this community.
