Where to stay
- Cern hostel: http://housing-service.web.cern.ch/housing-service/hostelwelc.html. If it is full, you can still get rooms here on a day-to-day basis. You have to show up at the reception each day when it opens (7.30), and then you usually get an extension of your stay.
-St.Genis- (Lies between CERN and ALICE)

How to get to Cern
At the airport, just before you leave the luggage claim area, there are special machines where you can get a free public transport ticket.
Outside of the airport, take Bus 28, Direction: Meyrin-Village. Change to bus 56 Bus, Direction: CERN after a few bus stops.
What to do first at Cern
- Go to the Users office to get your contract fixed (http://building.web.cern.ch/map/building?bno=USERS+OFFICE:+61-R-010), afterwards you get your key card from the registration office (http://building.web.cern.ch/map/building?bno=55).
- If you want a key to the Bergen office, go to the ALICE secreteriat and ask for it (http://building.web.cern.ch/map/building?bno=301, http://aliceinfo.cern.ch/Collaboration/General/secretariat/)
- To rent a bicycle, go here: http://ep-div-smi.web.cern.ch/ep-div-smi/Service_point.html, http://building.web.cern.ch/map/building?bno=124
- If you want to use the Bergen car, you need a CERN drivings license. Bring your drivings licence and go to the ALICE secreteriat. They will scan this in and request it for you. To get the CERN driving license, you need security course level 1+2, see below.
To do shifts
- You need a security course, this you can do online: (http://sir.cern.ch)
- Request access for the control room in edh: https://edh.cern.ch --> Access Request. NB: You need a special EDH-password to be able to request, you can get this from AIS-support (Call 78888 when at CERN).
The rooms to request are: ALI-ACR and ALI-COF.
ALICE shiftwork
- Have a look into the TPC&TRD shiftguide: http://www-linux.gsi.de/~garabat/meu/ShiftGuide.pdf
- Book your shifts as: https://alicesms.cern.ch/
- Remember to take a shift course and book the necessary shadow shifts.
- You will need access to the ALICE logbook (https://alice-logbook.cern.ch), ask the run coordinator for access.
