ASEPS: Towards Global Physics Research Cooperation

1. The First ASia-Europe Physics Summit ASEPS Physics Towards Science Innovations Tsukuba Japan, March 24-26, 2010 Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation

2. Research is now Global, whether competitive or collaborative ... no boundaries But the funding is mostly local … at the country level Some progress at the regional level in Europe (CERN, EMBO, EUC-Research,..) but not in Asia yet. No inter-regional research organisation Learning from the ITER negotiation drama No world-wide research coordination established A single project to be shared by several countries, but to be located in only one. Global research, Local funding Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation

3. Well defined field, common needs, used to international cooperation Physics often implies large scale infrastructures/networks  worldwide coordination is most needed Physics is multipronged: Knowledge research: simpler for setting international project (no patents) Elementary Physics processes are often at the basis of the other research field (chemistry, life/brain science, …) Physics based instruments/detectors have provided major progress in other fields The financial crisis, environmental, energy and health issues are global matters They call for more basic/applied research (where physics plays a major role). They need therefore global endeavours, but no international coordination yet exist (cf. stimuli plans) A Summit on Physics Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation

4. The three mandatory research partners Very little communication organised at the country level, almost none at the regional or global level Need to find ways to merge the top-down and bottom-up policies. The Society needs The basic science needs, The country level and global strategies Research, Funding and Industry Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation

5. So that Global projects can be initiated and run successfully An Asia-Europe initiative To balance Physics Research cooperation among the 3 main regions Europe Asia America Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation

10. To bridge the knowledge and digital gap Involving Developing Countries in frontier international research projects is a Must Europe Asia America Developing Countries Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation

11. Europe and Asia: many countries More difficult than talking to 1 country Different cultures Different levels of development Need to invent new Research coordination/organisation Setting up people network New evaluation/decision system, not starting from scratch New funding system, new structures, … 3 communities that rarely meet: Scientists Policy and decision makers (funding agencies, government officials) Industry leaders A challenge … Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation

12. Building the XXI century research framework A first step toward global research governance Basic knowledge is the supreme “World Heritage”: the basis of mankind unity, universality, so we have to bridge the Knowledge gap A prototype: For a better understanding between people To establish a more balanced world To tackle major issues for the future of humanity like world governance We are making History… …Worth the effort Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation

13. End of ASEPS Motivations…. Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation

14. ASEPS Hosted by Japan, March 24-26, 2010 Informative, Pedagogical and Practical To discuss cooperation and strategies on scientific projects and large scale infrastructures. To identify common interest on roadmap items (ESFRI 44 projects (30B€, country level projects, …) Setup working groups to study cross-support To setup a framework to support the cooperation human resources: ASEPS Foundation Co-organization: CNRS-CEA(France) + JSPS(Japan) + … In cooperation with EU S&T Commission – EuroHORCs- AsiaHORCs(Head Of Research Councils) contacted Physics Societies are strongly Involved EPS, AAPPS, JPS, SFP,…. Participants: Scientists, Government, Research Organization decision makers and Industry leaders All Euro-Asia Countries including Russia Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation

Euro-Asia Physics Foundation“Innovation in Experimental and Theoretical Physics” Support: - Researcher exchanges (short and long term visit, post-doc program) - Training schools especially in the developing countries in a multi-lateral teaching/support approach. - Joint laboratories hosted by the main research organizations or universities coordinated in a global network. Supporting International Cooperation Supported by public and private organizations - World Physics Centers: At the frontier of physics research gathering theorists and experimentalists on joint projects in a global network. Contribute to: - Research infrastructures in the developing countries (i.e. linac in Vietnam, GRID in ASEAN countries, …) - Participation of the developing countries to the large scale international projects (LHC, ILC, space science, mesophysics, …) Wiki: http://aseps.in2p3.fr Official Web: http://aseps.kek.jp email: aseps@kek.jp Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation

18. World economies and our own quality of life are bound to innovation. Basic research often induces changes of civilization; creates new industry But Basic research is now global. International cooperation is a necessity (large infrastructures) and a must (against the knowledge divide). Asia - North-America – Europe (Russia) form the basis for any world-wide project. One must reinforce the Europe-Asia cooperation to have a balanced and stable basis for the foundation of world-wide projects. The Asia-Euro Physics Summit is a first step in this direction Overview Denis Perret-Gallix IN2P3-CNRS Asia-Pacific Cooperation
