Autumn activites with AITAP
Sports
AITAP organized a rafting weekend at the end of June. About twenty members of the
association faced the tumultuous rapids of the Guil in teams. The emotions were intense and
the challenge taken together could only facilitate the exchange between participants.
APEC training
AITAP offered the young researchers of the center the possibility to participate to an APEC
(Association Pour l’Emploi des Cadres – Association for managers’ employment)
conference. It was the occasion to meet Human Resources professionals and to learn about
the services offered by this association.
CERN visit
23 members of AITAP went for a day to Geneva to visit the facilities of CERN and for a
walk in the streets of the historical centre of the city. Led by two CERN physicists, our
members discovered the history of the particle accelerators and the technical challenges that
had to be overcome to allow the functioning of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider).
AITAP-Asteroid meeting
AITAP had the pleasure to welcome the members of Asteroid – the young researchers
association of CEA – Le Ripault. Asteroid was in Grenoble for three days to visit CEA and
some enterprises in the region. AITAP offered a tour of the city and social evenings.
AITAP at the Safety Days
Thanks to the safety engineers of the centre, the members of the bureau of AITAP have been
giving, since the beginning of July, short presentations of the association at the end of the
Safety Day. This allows to inform the new employees about the Association and to meet
people who are interested.
