16 September: Move More, Eat Better

16 September: Move More, Eat Better

 

Sedentary lifestyles and poor eating habits pose major challenges to public health by increasing the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity. Yet small lifestyle changes can lead to big improvements, not only in energy, concentration and well-being, but also in our long-term physical and mental health.

Join us on Tuesday, 16 September for the “Move More, Eat Better” campaign, a special event organised by the CERN Medical Service alongside the European Mobility Week activities coordinated by the SCE department (more details early September). This is your chance to explore how movement and nutrition can transform your daily life – at work and beyond.

What to expect:

10 a.m. to 3 p.m. – Main Building, R1 and R1 terrace/lawn
  • Live sports and movement demos (weather permitting) with various CERN sports clubs, including basketball, croquet, martial arts, fitness and more, and featuring a warm-up session with the Servette Football Club. If it rains, alternative demos will be organised on the Mezzanine of the Main Building.
  • Practical nutrition tips and advice from NOVAE and the Antenne Genevoise des Diététiciens (ADIGE, a Geneva-based association of dieticians).
  • Smart tools to stay active at your desk with AZERGO and the CERN Medical Service.
  • And don’t miss the chance to make your own smoothie using pedal-power!
12.30 p.m. to 2 p.m. – Main Auditorium

Conference with specialist health and nutrition experts, notably the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève (HUG) and the Servette Football Club. For more details and to register, see: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1560595/.

This is the perfect complement to a week of mobility and well-being initiatives at CERN. Let’s get moving – for your heart, your head and your health.

Summer 2025 – Route de Meyrin works notice (continuation)

Thu, 24/07/2025 - 17:51
Summer 2025 – Route de Meyrin works notice (continuation)

These works are a continuation of those described here.

Phase 2

For approximately one and half weeks from July 24 to August 3, 2025, the right-entry lane at the Route de Meyrin roundabout with Route du Mandement in the direction of France will be closed. Traffic in the Geneva-France direction will be diverted via rue Lect and route du Nant-d'Avril or avenue de Mategnin. More information can be found on the website of the canton of Geneva (in French).

 

(Image: Canton of Geneva) Phase 3

From Friday August 1, 2025, and for 2 weeks, traffic will be alternated at the “Meyrin, Hôpital-de-la-Tour” tram stop. The Meyrin cut-and-cover tunnel will remain open. Trams on line 18 will be replaced by buses (see tpg website Announced works and events).

(Image: Canton of Geneva)

These works, carried out by the canton of Geneva, will enable the route du Nant-d'Avril to be upgraded for the arrival of the Geneva - Vernier - ZIMEYSAVER Bus à Haut Niveau de Service / fast bus (BHNS-GVZ) by 2027.

For further information, please visit the page Avis de travaux : Info mobilité - BHNS-GVZ, where you can also sign up for the newsletter to stay informed of the latest updates.

Safe laser pointers now available in the CERN stores

Thu, 24/07/2025 - 10:54
Safe laser pointers now available in the CERN stores

Since 1 June 2019, only Class 1 laser pointers have been permitted for indoors pointing purposes in Switzerland. The import, possession and use of laser pointers classified as 1M, 2, 2M, 3R, 3B and 4 – as well as of unclassified or incorrectly labelled devices – are strictly prohibited (as per Articles 22 and 23 of the Ordinance to the Federal Act on Protection against the Risks associated with Non-Ionising Radiation and with Sound, O-NIRSA).

At CERN this prohibition is also applicable on the French part of the site.

In this context, and following several incidents where CERN staff or users were stopped by Swiss border guards while carrying prohibited laser pointers, we would like to remind everyone that permitted Class 1 laser pointers are now available for purchase at the CERN stores with SCEM code 54.21.50.001.7.

Please note that any non-compliant laser pointers must be disposed of as electronic waste after removing the batteries. They can be placed in one of the blue containers reserved for electronic equipment (see https://sce-dep.web.cern.ch/waste/what-goes-where).

If you have any questions, please contact: safety-laser-experts@cern.ch. See also the Laser Safety webpage: https://hse.cern/safety-risks/laser-safety
