Internal Mobility is defined in Administrative Circular 17 as “a change in the functions and/or in the organizational unit of the staff member, at the request of the Organization or at the proposal of the staff member”.
Internal Mobility must be collectively approached as a global and shared responsibility between the Organization (in order to adapt the Organization’s human resources to its changing needs, maintain a highly committed, performing, developed and flexible workforce) and the staff member (to develop new competencies and skills and increase motivation by providing new challenges and/or new work environment).
Note: Internal Mobility is open to Staff Members only.

What people have to say about Internal Mobility
Internal mobility happens regularly around us, either inside a same group/unit or across departments and jobs. Here's what staff members have to say about their experience of Internal Mobility, what it represents for them and their career:
- "La mobilité interne a été pour moi une excellente occasion de relancer ma carrière au CERN dans un nouveau département/groupe pour apprendre de nouvelles compétences tout en apportant mes connaissances accumulées dans le passé."
- "It represented a major change in work activities that I was looking for".
- "La mobilité interne m'a permis de découvrir un service et une activité que j'ai toujours souhaité intégrer et de compléter mon registre de compétences".
- "I was approached for an internal mobility, for a specific job opening in another group of the same department, and I welcomed the new challenge with open arms. Seizing the opportunity to do a mobility has been the best decision I have made since I started at CERN. It felt risky at first, changing from the position I was initially hired for, but it turned out to be an enriching experience and greatly helped me break the comfortable routine I had fallen in with my previous job. I am not sure where my career will lead to after CERN but I can certainly appreciate having the opportunity to fit two very diverse experiences into my 5-year contract. I could not have imagined a better way of gaining experience within the Organization."
- "La mobilité interne m’a permis de donner un nouvel élan à ma carrière, de changer de métier, d’améliorer mes connaissances techniques, d’acquérir de nouvelles compétences. Je conseille vivement la mobilité interne pour pouvoir s’épanouir au travail."
- "Internal Mobility has been an opportunity to broaden my knowledge of CERN and to apply my experiences and knowledge to a new role."
