1. Summary of the ECFA /ELCSG session and exhibition at ESOF 2004Stockholm, 25.-28.8.04 Michael KobelBonn UniversityGermanyEPOG outreach meeting, CERN, 29.10.2004

2. Euro Science Open Forum 2004, Stockholm, 25.-28.8.2004 www.esof2004.org • Aim: highlight science in Europe (similar as AAAS in America) • present science and the humanities at the cutting-edge • stimulate scientific awareness • foster debate on science and society • get scientists and media together • Participants: total: 1800 from 68 countries (officially, never together on one day) • academics • research organisations (e.g. EIROforum) • policy makers (some) • politicians (very few) • media (350 journalists) • industry (mainly as exhibitors) • teachers, public (not in sessions and exhibitions) • 12 plenary sessions (partially in parallel) • 60 parallel sessions (from 260 applications) • science in the city

3. ECFA Session „From Quarks to Galaxies“ • In the name of ECFA prepared by the outreach subcommittee coordinators of the ELCSG, in collaboration with EPOG • 3talks „present status“+ discussion, 2 talks „future plans“ + discussion, 3h total • 1.) Gerard t'Hooft: The Nature of Matter and Forces • 2.) Licia Verde: The Cosmic Connection: From Quarks to Galaxies • 3.) Ugo Amaldi: From Accelerators to Cancer Therapy • 4.) Ulf Danielsson: Theories Spanning Time and Space of the Universe • 5.) Albrecht Wagner: Pushing the Frontier: Tools for the next Decadehttp://www.teilchenphysik.org/temp_aktuell_aktivitaeten_elcsg.htm • talks well adjusted to each other(2 phone confs beforehand) • right level of talks 45 min discussion • invited: 60 „VIPs“ from 15 countries,attended: 4 from PL, HU, I, (D) • too many sessions: only about 70-80 people listening 1st discussion round

4. ESOF Press Briefing"The International Linear Collider Project: Europe's Vision for the Future of Particle Physics" • One of about 10 Press briefings at ESOF 2004 • Participants: G.‘t Hooft, M.Kobel, L.Verde, A.Wagner • Moderated by Ranga Yogeshwar (German TV Journalist) • Very timely (7 days after ITRP recommendation) • Press folders prepared beforehand (well received) • triggered someESOF and ILC articlesin German press

5. ECFA Exhibition„From cloud chambers to linear accelerators- tracking down the origin of matter“ • 30 m2 in nice „Pillared Hall“ (booth rent: 10,000 €) • but: very much detached from the conference

7. Exhibition features • 5 Guides from GSI, Amanda, DESY • Most expensive part of our activity • Most complicated to organize(e.g. transport from 5 places) • Most educative and most „hands-on“ exhibition of ESOF • public admitted only in last few hours • very difficult to findfor conferenceparticipants • those who camewere very interested

8. Many Thanks to • ELCSG Session Co-Organizers:Francois le Diberder, Giorgio Ciarelli, Phil Burrows, Phillip Bambade (+ Erik Johansson and Brian Foster) • Exhibition Co-organizers:Ulrike Behrens, Christian Mrotzek (DESY), Valja Gebhardt (BN) • Press folder support:Petra Folkerts, Christian Mrotzek (DESY) • Exhibition Objects:Ulrike Behrens, Petra Folkerts, Christian Mrotzek (DESY), Wilma Weyrather (GSI), Per Olof Hulth (Amanda), Norman Gee (PPEP) • Exhibition Guides:Blanka Sobloher, Christian Mrotzek (DESY), Amanda guides,Wilma Weyrather (GSI)

9. Summary • First experience with AAAS-like event for • ESOF central organizers • ESOF session and exhibition organizers (us) • ESOF participants • our combination of session + press briefing + exhibition was nice • could have been better exploited with better attendance(participants, VIPs, public) • preparation needs very much work • still, 2004 showed that ESOF concept works in principle • especially well received by journalists • many things to improve for ESOF2006 in Munich • need more politicians and policy makers • need more public, teachers, students • need free access to exhibitions and some lectures • reduced conference fee for full participation • need less sessions /actvities in parallel • proposals to be submitted already in spring/summer 05!
