In order to promote integration of the newcomers to Magendie, we are glad to share the 'Useful information booklet' for Magendie employees ONLY (intranet access). Please feel free to get back to us for any additional content you would like to see included.

In line with our committee's theme of inclusion, and thanks to funding from the Institute, we were able to purchase a translator which is available to all staff.
Several languages can be programmed. It works perfectly for exchanges between 2 people, and used during multiple people meetings, provided you sit next to the person whose translation you want. It can be reserved on the Magendie intranet, in the same way as computer equipment.

We imagined to establish a “buddy system” to match newcomers with experienced workers in Magendie (people who have been working at Magendie for at least 3 years from different categories: PhD, post-docs, ITA, animal facility staff, administration, researchers, professors, team leaders). A mentor can provide the newcomer with information about the institute administration, council, representatives, introduce the various committees... Mentors will also accompany their mentee to the different events of the institute such as the first participation to the Magendie Hot-topic, Café de Jeudi, Neurosocials, Christmas lunch... This program will also help to interact between the teams and know each other a bit better.
How will this system work?

• We are collecting the names of mentors who are willing to participate in the program. If you are here for more than 3 years and interested to be a mentor, please contact us at dei.u1215@inserm.fr
• When a newcomer arrives, we will contact a mentor according to their work category, and if agreed, we will put them in touch,
• An initial face-to-face meeting is recommended and further meetings are voluntary :)
• In case the match is not fruitful, another mentor can be assigned.

We look forward to sharing our posters with the entire Magendie community in the Badiane Room:

• Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Magendie: our committee's actions to promote inclusion and reduce the risk of discrimination at the Neurocentre Magendie

All what we discussed is available for Magendie employees only, via intranet.
