"Gender focus in physics"(2017)"(...) Nudging rather than quotasBut what are the major European research organisations doing to narrow the gender gap among their own researchers? Representatives of four multinational research organisations – CERN, the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) – all explained that they do not operate with gender quotas. Instead, these organisations exercise awareness in their recruitment processes and consciously work to encourage women to apply for positions."https://www.nordforsk.org/en/news/gender-focus-in-physics+"How does CERN encourage women in science?"(2017)"Just 20% of CERN's community are women, and CERN wants to improve on this. To encourage and attract more women to choose science, particularly physics, as a career CERN is holding events for both Gender in Physics Day and the International Day of Women in Science.(...)"https://home.cern/news/news/cern/how-does-cern-encourage-women-science+Εργασιακή σχέση του Strumia με Cern (guest) και UoF (κανονική). Παραβίαση των Κανονισμών Cern από μεριάς Strumia. Εναλλακτικό πλάνο/πρόβλεψη για το ERC που δεν αποκλείει τον Strumia."Updated statement: CERN stands for diversity"(7/3/2019)(...)As Professor Strumia’s employer, the *University of Pisa* considered the recommendation of its ethics committee and decided to issue a public sanction against Professor Strumia, on 18 January 2019.At CERN, the incident was investigated in the light of the *internal Rules and Regulations and the Organization’s Code of Conduct*, which is based on CERN’s core values. As a result of its own investigation and following the decision taken by the University of Pisa, CERN decided not to extend Professor Strumia’s status of Guest Professor.In parallel, in an effort to ensure the continuity of the ERC grant, and in particular several young scientists’ employment contracts, *CERN and the University of Pisa have worked closely together to find a solution. The ERC has been made aware of the intention to transfer the ERC grant from CERN to the University of Pisa in order for the scientific research of Professor Strumia and his collaborators to continue there*. This will be done in accordance with the relevant provisions on the portability of ERC grants. (...)----(1/10/2018)(...)CERN, like many members of the community, considers that the presentation, with its attacks on individuals, was unacceptable in any professional context and was *contrary to the CERN Code of Conduct*. It, therefore, decided to remove the slides from the online repository.On Monday, 1 October, CERN suspended the scientist from any activity at CERN with immediate effect, pending investigation into last week’s event.CERN is a culturally diverse organisation bringing together people of many different nationalities. It is a place where everyone is welcome, and all have the same opportunities, regardless of ethnicity, beliefs, gender or sexual orientation. Indeed, diversity is one of the core values underpinning our Code of Conduct and the Organization is fully committed to promoting diversity and equality at all levels.(...)https://home.cern/news/press-release/cern/updated-statement-cern-stands-diversity
