CERN and ATLAS registration forms

Changed:
<
<		Be sure to fill out and get the following forms signed by your 'team leader' (i.e., Tony Doyle, Craig Buttar or Val O'Shea can sign the form): CERN Registration form, ATLAS registration form. The CERN registration form registers you at CERN and ultimately grants you access to the internet while at CERN and a CERN access card. Be sure to do this, as waiting to gain access to computers and the internet while at CERN can be frustrating.

Not so important notes before going to CERN

Line: 28 to 28
  English usually works, but having some French will help you. If you do not know a great deal of French, Google Translate is getting very good and you could have this at the ready on your mobile telephone.

Free travel ticket

  When you are in the baggage collection area, remember to collect a free bus ticket! These are ideal for getting to wherever you need to go when you arrive and mean that you don't have to worry about having CHF change on arrival. The ticket machine could be quite easy to miss. It looks like this:
Line: 40 to 42
  The ticket lasts for 88 minutes.

Airport Wi-Fi

Swisscom offers access to Wi-Fi in the airport. There is also a small snack shop (which sells decent food) that offers Wi-Fi (SSID: *, passcode: *).

<		The bus stop you will need to get anywhere (i.e., CERN) is likely to be the one on the corner as you leave the airport. For vague instructions, after you pass from the baggage collection area to the foyer, turn left, following signs for buses, and eventually you will reach a yellow escalator. Go up this and, at the top, come back on yourself, exit that way and you will be essentially standing at the bus stop.

<		The Glasgow group has a flat close to CERN in the town of Meyrin. Here are the coordinates: (46.237145706538854, 6.077819913625717). The address is as follows:

Flat 62, Promenade des Champs-Fréchets 20, 1217 Meyrin, Switzerland

It is a nice flat with three bedrooms, Wi-Fi, a stereo system, a telephone, a washing machine/spin-drier, a shower and the other usual things you would expect in a flat. There is also a television, if you are into such retro things. There is a great view of the Jura mountains to wake up to each morning. You can view the availability and book the CERN flat here
