All in the family
Director-General Pietro Barabaschi's message to ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ and Domestic Agency staff on 19 October 2022 could be summarized in these words: ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ is one and everyone is ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ.
Whether in southern France, where the installation is being built, or in any country participating in the project, each person must pursue the same objective: work to the best of her/his ability to make ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ a success. Online or in person, approximately 1,500 staff and contractors from across the project attended the first all-staff event of his tenure.
On stage with the new Director-General (second from right), the heads of the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Domestic Agencies each expressed the same determination. From left to right: Kathy McCarthy (USA), Anatoly Krasilnikov (Russia), Kijung Jung (Korea), Makoto Sugimoto (Japan), Ujjwal Baruah (India), and European Domestic Agency Representative Juan Knaster. Luo Delong, head of ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ China, could not be present. Furthest to the right is Eisuke Tada, current Deputy of the Director-General and Head of the Office of the Director-General.
