The CNRS launches its alumni network

  • The CNRS has just established an alumni network.
  • It is open to all those who have worked at the CNRS.
  • CNRS alumni aims to develop ties between the organisation and its members.

Have you worked at the CNRS? If so, join CNRS alumni, the networked launched today for all those who have had a professional experience at the CNRS, whether they are currently in mobility or left for other professional circles in France or abroad.

Antoine Petit, the Chairman and CEO of the CNRS: “I'm pleased to announce the creation of CNRS alumni, an active network that promotes sharing, mutual support and outreach. CNRS alumni is aimed primarily at those who have worked at CNRS, who are currently on mobility or moving into new professional spheres, to enable them to extend their history with the institution.”

The network will be global in scale, thereby extending the impact of the CNRS, as well as its attractiveness in France and abroad. It offers members an opportunity to meet their peers, share knowledge and experiences, and enjoy enhanced career development. 

By joining CNRS alumni as a volunteer, each member gains access to news and events relating to their field of expertise, professional needs, and centres of interest. 

The dedicated platform can be used to create thematic or geographic groups, to exchange on particular topics, and to be a fully-engaged actor in the network’s development. It is designed to bring together scientists and research support staff that have had at least one experience at the CNRS. 

The network is a space in which the career path, experiences, and diversity of its members help strengthen ties and generate new professional opportunities. The idea is to offer a space for professional support and sharing.
