The European Association of Communication Directors (EACD) has awarded CERN’s Education, Communication and Outreach group the EACD 2024 Communications Excellence Award.

The award is given each year to individuals or groups who demonstrate excellence and best practice in communications and who build bridges through effective international communications, contributing to broader society.

The jury rewarded CERN’s communication in particular for its commitment to transparency, knowledge sharing and transnational communications.

“In its 70^th birthday year CERN continues to lead not just in scientific research, but in engaging the world and communicating its discoveries and innovation”, said Kim Larsen, the EACD President.

“This award is well-deserved recognition of the work done by everyone involved in CERN communications and the many scientists we work with every day”, explains Ana Godinho, head of the Education, Communication and Outreach group, who received the award at the EACD Annual Summit on 27 and 28 May in Brussels.
