  1. Brussels Council - planning James Gillies, Camilla Jakobsson, Vanessa Mexner, Arnaud Marsollier,Terry O’Connor, EPPCN, November 2012

  2. Purpose of this session Validation of this proposal

  3. Who’s been involved since the last meeting? EPPCN Working Group: Camilla Jakobsson Vanessa Mexner Arnaud Marsollier Terry O’Connor James Gillies From European Commission: Marco Weydert (main point of contact) From CERN: FabienneMarcastel – visual identity Ray Lewis – exhibition logistics Seconded from ESO: Claus Madsen Writer: Tim Radford

  4. Timetable • CERN Council meetings scheduled for 22 May PM, and 23 May AM. • Tuesday 21 MayInstall exhibition in Berlaymont building • Wednesday 22 MayMorning: Inaugurate exhibition with members of CERN Council invitedEvening: Round table, ‘What do we get from basic science?’Evening: Reception for Competitiveness Council, Commission, industry association and other opinion formersEvening: VIP dinner? • Thursday 23 MayMorning: Strategy presented to research ministers in CERN Council session Press conference and reception at the exhibition for research ministers to be scheduled • Friday 24 MayMorning: Exhibition open, breakfast briefing for industry associationsAfternoon: Dismount exhibition

  5. Staffing • Minimum of six staff on the exhibition at all times. • PhD students, postdocs or Professors to discuss, excite and inspire • EPPCN/Commission communications staff to meet and greet, and ensure no key visitors are left unattended. • For busier periods, twelve scientists, six communicators and Council members.

  6. Key messages Basic science is good for you. Collaborating across borders makes it even better. Target audience: Competitiveness Council, Brussels-based S&T opinion leaders Choice of examples made to underline key messages

  7. Exhibition layout

  8. Themes by key area • Key area 1: Collaborative research in particle physics • Key area 2: Medical and life sciences • Key area 3: Energy and the environment • Key area 4: Communications and new technologies • Key area 5: Society and skills

  9. Retained examples by key area Key area 1: Collaborative research in particle physics This area will address in detail the role of particle physics and basic research, mentioning the LHC, its experiments and the worldwide collaborations as an example of collaborative research. It is an opportunity for the commission to highlight its key tools for cross border collaboration, which will include the ERA, the Marie Curie scheme and EURAXESS. Communications staff in this area will have the role of meeting and greeting, and introducing guests to the scientists elsewhere in the exhibition. Astroparticle physics? ESFRI?

  10. Retained examples by key area Key area 2: Medical and life sciences • Diagnostic tools:MedipixPET/CT, PET/MRI, PET-3D ultrasoundENDO TOFPET-US • Hadron therapy:PIMMSENLIGHTULICE • Radioisotope production:IBASWAN IsotopenISOLDE • New techniques:Retinal cell mapping • SoftwareGEANT4

  11. Retained examples by key area Key area 3: Energy and the environment • Safer and more secure energy supplySuperconducting cables: Key focus of HiLumiLHCSolar panels: Thermal panels based on LHC vacuum technologyTARC and nTOF (note: transmutation for radioistopes also)Guinevere/MyrrhaNuclear monitoring • Sustainable industrial processes:Various applications of electron beam technologyFlue gas cleaning: pilot plant in Poland? • Environmental technologyVolcano imagingWater resource managementGeoneutrinos

  12. Retained examples by key area Key area 4: Communications and new technologies • A networked world:EGI – InSPIREHelixNebulaMany applications • New technologies, new industries:GEM detectors: For flame detection and earthquake predictionDiaphragm system technologies: High-precision, cost-effective mechanical techniqueSilicon cooling plates: High-efficiency cooling technique • Sharing knowledge:Open Hardware LicenceCERN KT network

  13. Retained examples by key area Key area 5: Society and skills • Inspiring the next generationHigh School Teachers’ programmesParticle physics master classesCERN-UNESCO schoolsCosmic ray projects – e.g. Lucid, HiSparc • High value skills for the general economyNeed national surveysOECD report?TIARA survey? • Services for a safer, better worldUNOSATRASNIKCultural heritage – accelerator mass spectrometrySecurity scanning applications

  14. What next? • We need from you: specific examplesgood images and a/vdemonstrationspeopleBy Friday 21 December pleaseContent for national leaflets – national examples. • We need to give you a detailed proposal for the round table:FormatSpeakersModeratorAlso by Friday 21 December…Template for national leaflets
