• Youth activities (e.g. Coding Science Days, Girls in ICT Day);
• Events for the general public at CERN, in the local region and online (e.g. local science fairs and events);

  • Contribute to CERN's communication strategy by drafting content in French and English, on various communication tools (website, social media, internal communication etc.);
