Call for volunteers for the Passeport Big Bang inauguration

Please sign up before 15 May to help with this project

|

The organization of the Passport to the Big Bang inauguration on 2 June is in a critical situation.

The event will take place on 2 June and the organizers are still seeking 80 volunteers. Volunteers are needed to help at the Prevessin site between 7am and 10.30am, to help on different LHC sites of the inauguration between 1.30pm and 6.30pm, and as "signaleurs" along the 54-kilometre cycle race circuit between 9am and 1.30pm.

The "signaleurs" will indicate the path to the participants along the 54-kilometre circuit and their presence will help guarantee the participants'  safety at locations where the circuit crosses public roads. The "signaleurs" volunteers must have a valid driving license, be able to go by their own means at their assigned location and be confident to fulfill this mission. They have to sign up before Wednesday 15 May, when the organizers have to provide the Prefecture de l'Ain with the names of all "signaleurs" in order to receive the authorization of the race.

Thirty "signaleurs" are still missing for the cycle race and if we don't find them CERN will be forced to cancel the race. This last minute cancellation would undoubtedly damage the image of the Organization within the local community.

Sign up now

Volunteers have to speak an only basic French.

The Passport to the Big Bang project is important for the reputation of CERN in the region. On behalf of the Organization, I would like to thank you in advance for your commitment.
