Staff Association's quiz

Dear colleagues,

We extend our thanks to the numerous participants taking part in the Staff Association (SA) quiz.

Among the participants who found all the right answers, 28 winners were drawn at random and contacted by email to come and collect their prize. The prize consists of a 50 CHF voucher from Go Sport, our partner, who has supported us for several years and whom we thank warmly.

For the curious, you will find below the answers to the quiz, which will allow you to better know the Association, as well as Le Jardin des Particules (JdP):
