Diversity & Inclusion

The ATLAS Collaboration

The ATLAS Collaboration draws its creativity and strength from world-wide members with different backgrounds. This pluralism is an essential part of our identity as scientists and we fully uphold CERN's principles of inclusiveness and diversity as enshrined in the CERN Code of Conduct.

As a collaboration of over 5000 scientists, students, engineers, technicians, and administrators, ATLAS is made up of diverse members from around the globe with different age, gender identity, sexual orientation, culture, physical ability, race and ethnicity, appearance, neurodiversity, education, or religious background. We expect high standards of professional conduct and commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion in our community.

We value the opinions of people with different experiences and backgrounds. A diverse group brings different perspectives and enhances our ability to tackle complex problems. We expect colleagues to refrain from all types of bullying and harassment, including any form of abuse or exclusionary jokes at all times (e.g. racist, sexist) in person and in a virtual environment.

We recognise that discrimination persists in many aspects of society, including science. Racial harassment is unacceptable in all of its forms. We acknowledge that more must be done to address this. To be part of the solution, we continue to strive to identify and remove barriers that obstruct people from being able to work free from harassment, and to quickly address issues that may prevent everyone in the Collaboration from having equality of opportunity.

We must ensure that our colleagues have the tools and resources they need to succeed. Parenting and caring responsibilities can be challenging, traditionally having a higher impact on women, and we must ensure that support is in place. We must also take particular care to address the needs expressed by collaborators with various physical differences, such as vision, speech, hearing or other impairments.

We support LGBTQ+ rights. People are accepted for who they are, and we do not accept any discrimination due to sexual orientation or gender identity.

Science is about looking forward, and imagining a future that is inclusive, and celebrates diversity, ideas and innovation. Physics is universal and for everyone, and we must work to appreciate problems that others have that may be invisible to us.

This work is coordinated by the Contacts for Diversity and Inclusion, who also liaise with other groups including the other LHC experiments, the CERN Diversity and Inclusion Programme, and the CERN LGBTQ group.

Design Guidelines

ATLAS Visual Identity

The ATLAS Collaboration has a professional visual identity that is both memorable and easy to recognise. It includes fonts, a colour palette and a refined logo, to help identify the ATLAS "brand". By embracing these design guidelines across all of our communication platforms, ATLAS presents a clear, professional image that all of our target audiences can identify.

ATLAS Collaboration members are encouraged to use this visual identity in talks and posters presented at conferences.

On this page you will find details and download that should help you in creating your talk, poster or other material.

Run 3 Patch and Sticker Designs

Designs created by K. Anthony (patch, sticker) and H. Russell (sticker) in celebration of LHC Run 3. Members of the ATLAS Collaboration can download the pdf files of the designs from CERNbox.

ATLAS Colours

The ATLAS website and visual identity uses a standard "ATLAS blue" colour.

ATLAS blue example HEX: #0b80c3
RGB: 11, 128, 195
CMYK: 83, 42, 1, 0

ATLAS Font

The default ATLAS font is Open Sans, and is used in the ATLAS logo, website and official communications. Open Sans is an open source font available for free in the Google Fonts database.

Presentation and Poster Templates

ATLAS Collaboration members can download ATLAS presentation themes/templates for Keynote and Powerpoint, as well as a PowerPoint poster template from our CERNbox share.

Guidelines for ATLAS members

Acknowledgements and proper crediting of ATLAS contribution by third parties and partners is done through copyright for images, and comments for written content.

Using the ATLAS logo on a web site or any document is totally different: given that it is a brand, the logo implies that the collaboration directly contributed to or endorsed the project through an established partnership where roles and contributions have been clearly defined, and that the material was checked in details.

Projects which require the right to use the ATLAS brand therefore agree to go through approval, reporting and to implement the modifications required. In this situation, the role of the outreach coordinators is to interact with the project developers, advise and collect background information until the material has reached a sufficient quality to be presented to the relevant bodies. Approval is then given (or not) by the ATLAS management.

The right to use the ATLAS logo and brand can be removed at any time. In that case the project is of course not stopped, the logo and mention of ATLAS are removed and it runs with other partners. For this reason – and to simplify Intellectual Property issues - it is strongly recommended to chose a neutral project name.

Note that the use of the CERN logo requires a similar approval by the CERN communication and legal services, and that the use of the letters CERN in project names is generally not accepted.
