Diversity & Inclusion Programme

SNAC (Supporting Neurodiversity at CERN)

The idea to create a network that would bring together colleagues around the subject of neurodiversity was inspired by feedback from a former CERN Fellow. She greatly missed having a support network at CERN for persons like herself with neurodivergent cognitive thinking.

Result? “SNAC” (Supporting Neurodiversity at CERN): an informal network of colleagues from across the Organization.

SNAC’s main objectives are to:

  1. Advise the D&I Programme and each other about individual experiences with a view to workplace improvements at CERN
  2. Create actions to increase awareness among the personnel population
  3. Provide an understanding and empathetic space for SNAC members to support each other
  4. Potentially serve as a peer-to-peer “buddy” system for newcomers who may face neurodiversity-related challenges at work

Let us help make CERN known as a workplace that is adapted for neuro-nontypical colleagues.
