Our Values

CERN is a truly unique organisation, a place where people from all around the world work side by side to probe the fundamental structure of the universe.

CERN's values are commitment, professionalism, creativity, diversity and integrity. Taken together they provide the basis for respect: respect for others, respect for the Organisation and respect for its mission, and underpin the CERN Code of Conduct.

Commitment

We spoke to Raymond Veness, a Senior Engineer at CERN and part of the team that discovered the Higgs boson. He tells us what you can expect and how you can succeed while working at CERN.

Demonstrating a high level of motivation and dedication to the Organisation. Our collective commitment to CERN is essential both to the achievement of its mission and the protection of its reputation.
