Internet access in the JRC Ispra lodgings

04/10/2013 No comments
Staff well-being is of paramount importance for R&D Ispra. That’s why we do our best to make the site more attractive and we welcome all kinds of initiatives and on-going activities. Just to mention two: the site development and the recent sustainable mobility event. However we believe that there is still space for improvement, especially for newcomers and their families.

We have received many request/complaints by newcomers who stay temporarily in the lodgings and who are "cut-off" from the Internet after hours, simply because in the lodgings they don't have Internet access. This means that, if not at work or in the Clubhouse (closed during the weekend and after 23h00), they don't have Internet access. Considering the many requests and because we believe that the lack of a basic 21st Century commodity gives a very bad first impression of the JRC to new arrivals, we have sent this note to ISM in which we request immediate Internet access for these new colleagues. As you can see in this document the Commission officially endorses a policy on Internet access; in its own backyard though it is partly still missing.
R&D Ispra sincerely hopes that this remarkable and embarrassing lack of a basic commodity will be dealt with soon with the available and easily applicable (not rocket science…) technology.
