Structure

The Finance and Human Resources (FHR) sector managed by the Director for Finance and Human Resources comprises three departments.

The Finance and Administrative Processes (FAP) department is responsible for the effective and efficient management of the Organization’s financial resources and commitments while ensuring compliance with CERN’s financial rules and procedures.
The department is also responsible for the accuracy of the Organization’s financial Data and as such, provides and support a set of integrated, secure and reliable enterprise information systems. It provides the tools for optimal support for CERN Business Processes, Project Planning and Management.

The Industry, Procurement and Knowledge Transfer (IPT) department has the following mission: to provide essential support and advice on procurement, knowledge transfer and EU projects. 

The Human Resources (HR) department (information will be added soon).

How we conduct our mandate is just as important as what we do. Our core values are: 

  • we cooperate with other CERN Departments, the Experiments and the Host States 
  • we plan at long-term, regularly updating and aligning to evolutions in CERN’s scientific program and future projects 
  • we ensure working conditions at the site providing a high level of safety, reliability and security
  • we implement coherent service management
  • we plan and prioritize projects according to strategic importance, urgency, financial viability and within environmental and mobility objectives.
