  1. Bienvenue au CERN International Workshop onAfrican Research & Education NetworkingSeptember 25-27 2005 ITU, UNU and CERN Recherche Technologie Enseignement Collaboration AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  2. CERN collaborates with the Universities of the world, virtual neighbourhood through ICT 732 722 4231 MS 100 30 50 1932 NMS 50 10 CERN: 20 Member States; 2400 staff+500 fellows, paid associates; collaborates with 250 institutes in MS: 4500 scientists; 210 institutes in NMS: 2000 scientists; annual turnover: > 1000 people AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  3. Notre Vue de l’Univers L H C AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  4. CERN’s accelerators AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  5. Le Problème LHC: 109 collisions/sec 1/1012 pouvoir de sélection AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  6. Balloon (30 Km) CD stack with 1 year LHC data! (~ 20 Km) Concorde (15 Km) Mt. Blanc (4.8 Km) CERN’s “collaborative” experiments“made by the scientists of the world”CERN contribution ~20% But: 1 Petabyte/s inflow of Information AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  7. Computing at CERN: cheap commodity High Throughput Computing WAN application servers mass storage data cache CPU servers Disk servers Tape silos and servers AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  8. Global virtual Computing Centre today LCG 30 sites 3200 cpus 25 Universities 4 National Labs 2800 CPUs Grid3 150 Grid sites ~12,000 CPUs ~10 PetaBytes AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  9. Competent People Tim Berners Lee Learning by doing real “state of the art” science and academic trainingAlmost40% of the Nobel Prices in Physics of the past 50 years AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  10. (http://cern.ch/rsis ) Result: Education, Training and Knowledge are Keys to Development ICT are the means of storage and access, make us virtual neighbours and enableclose collaborations of distant partners AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  11. Towards a Web ofCulture and Science Universal availability of a comprehensive source of human knowledge and cultural heritage from the academia of the world “Open Access” to Results of publicly funded Science gains global Momentum Knowledge is a Common Good AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  12. “Consideranda” • Abdus Salam, Nobel Price Physics, Pakistan: “in the final analysis, creation, mastery and utilization of modern science and technology is basically what distinguishes the South from the North. On science and technology depend the standards of living of a nation”. • Calestous Juma, Millennium project Task Force Science, Technology: “It is inconceivable that the eight Millennium Development Goals can be achieved by 2015 without a focused science, technology and innovation policy” AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  13. Objectives • To enable African Universities • to become full partners of science and education in the world and • to form collaborations of their own • with the objectives and experience of the countries of Africa and, more generally, the countries of the South, • with the participation, help and engagement of the developed world’s universities AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  14. Technical Objectives • To formulate the concrete and practical steps to generate National Research and Education Networks with land-based (fibre optics) technology in your countries • To connect them regionally and globally. • This needs to include a detailed description of how the efforts are to be shared • in your countries, • with our neighbours, • all over Africa and • with your global partners. AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN

  15. Au CERN…et autour le Monde les Scientifiques en Réseaux nous tous cherchons des réponses aux questions sur l’Univers…. nous repoussons les frontières de la technologie nous formons les scientifiques, les innovatrices/innovateurs, expert-e-s, enseignant-e-s et actrices/acteurs créatifs de demain nous rapprochons les nations à travers la science en réseau avec l’aide des TIC AFRICA-REN - Hans F Hoffmann/CERN
