1. Our culture, our values
2. CERN’s Code of Conduct
What is the Code of Conduct:
Introduced in 2010, the Code of Conduct is contributors (whether members of the personnel, consultants, contractors working on the site, or people engaged in any other capacity at or on behalf of CERN), to understand how to conduct ourselves, treat others and expect to be treated. It is established around the five core values of the Organization. We should all familiarise ourself with it and try to incorporate into our daily life at CERN.
The Code of Conduct is a short document, and intentionally so. To increase understanding of how the Code of Conduct applies to real-life situations, a list of Frequently Asked Questions has been compiled (see "reference documents" section and FAQ).
