Call for candidates to be part of the CERN Equal Opportunities Advisory Panel
The Equal Opportunities Advisory Panel is an advisory body, set up in 1998 by Professor Sir Christopher Llewellyn Smith, on matters related to equal opportunities at CERN. Its role is
- to inform and assist the Equal Opportunities Officer (EOO) and to participate in the development of organizational policy in the field of equal opportunities,
- to approve recommendations regarding equal opportunities policy and to advise the DG on equal opportunity issues,
- to be available to CERN personnel for advice and confidential actions in the domain of equal opportunities,
- to deal with complaints related to harassment in line with the procedures described in the Adm. Circ. No. 32.
The Panel is composed of the Equal Opportunities Officer as an ex-officio member, plus 7 members appointed 'ad personam' for a period of 3 years (renewable) by the Director-General, in agreement with the Chairman and the Vice-Chairman of the CCP.
The composition of the EOAP should reflect as far as possible the diversity of the Laboratory in terms of gender, nationality, professions and departments.
Present panel members: T. Camporesi/PH (Chair). J. Schinzel/AB (EO officer), A. Goehring-Crinon/DSU-LS, G. Lindecker/FI, C. Petit-Jean Genaz/AB, E. Wildner/AT, D.O. Williams/DSU-EU.
The Panel meets regularly. In the past there have been between 4 and 6 meetings per year.
Currently the Panel is looking for replacements for two of its members. In 2006, the mandate of several other panel members will expire.
In this context, any member of the personnel who would like to be considered for membership of the Panel is herewith invited to send, by Tuesday 28 February, an application with a short curriculum vitae and motivation to Tiziano Camporesi (Chair of the Panel).
