During the summer period (15 June–15 September), all students who have a contract lasting at least one month are entitled to a 10% discount on meals purchased in CERN Restaurants No. 1 and 2.

Initiated by CERN staff member Zsuzsanna Garai and financed by Novae, this measure is intended to ensure that students can afford to choose from the full Novae range on the Meyrin site. The discount applies to hot meals, salads and sandwiches at lunch or dinner.

Students wishing to take advantage of the discount should contact their secretariat to obtain a badge that they will need to present at the restaurant along with their CERN access card. The discount will be applied at the till, provided that the following conditions are met:

• Purchases must be made during the lunch or evening service (11.30 a.m.–2.15 p.m. and 6.00–8.30 p.m.).
• Both badges must be presented (CERN access card + CERN student badge issued by the secretariat) and must bear the same name.
• A hot meal, salad or sandwich must be purchased.
• Only one meal per person: the discount does not apply to trays containing more than one meal or only drinks or cakes.
