Annual Information Meeting 2026 – 30 June 2026
Don’t Miss the 2026 CERN Pension Fund Annual Information Meeting!
Open to all members and beneficiaries, this annual event is an opportunity to hear the latest financial updates from the CERN Pension Fund and ask your questions directly to the Chair of the Pension Fund Governing Board (PFGB) and to the Fund’s CEO.
The meeting will take place on Tuesday 30 June 2026, from 2.30 p.m. to 3.30 p.m., in the Council Chamber, 503-1-001, and by Zoom or webcast.
The purpose of the Fund is to insure its members and beneficiaries as well as the members of their families against the economic consequences of disability, old age and death.
As an international organisation, CERN has created its own social security system, including a pension scheme, the CERN Pension Fund. The Fund, which is a defined-benefit scheme, is an integral part of CERN.
