Early announcement: A EuCAN workshop "universities meet laboratories" is planned for 2014
EuCAN Task Description:
The
EuCAN task coordinates and integrates the five accelerator networking activities
in EuCARD-2, namely WP3: EnEfficient, WP4: AccApplic, WP5: XBEAM, WP6:
LOW-e-RING and WP7: EuroNNAc2 to ensure consistency of the WP work according to
the project plan. It stimulates and guides progress on novel and
high-performance accelerators for various fields of science, as well as on their
applications e.g. for medical treatments, helping the topical networks to lay
the foundation for a new generation of advanced accelerator infrastructures in
Europe.
Building on the success of the FP6 CARE project and FP7 EuCARD-AccNet networking work package, this task provides an interface between the individual accelerator networks, developing synergies and supporting collaboration and joint events. It provides a common calendar of events for all networks, creates and maintains web pages, and helps with dissemination and outreach activities (publications in newsletters, CERN Courier, journal articles and booklets, etc.; seminars, discussions, teaching activities). The EuCAN task is also an interface to other EuCARD-2 work packages, and national and international organizations like ECFA, ICFA, ILC, CLIC, MAP, ESA, US DOE, KEK in Japan, and industry.
Coordination duties include organising EuCAN internal steering meetings, setting up proper reviewing, reporting to the project management and distributing information within EuCARD-2. The task also covers organising and supporting annual meetings dedicated to EuCARD-2 activity review and possible activity workshops or specialized working sessions, implying the attendance of invited participants from inside and outside the consortium. The EuCAN membership consists of the coordinators of the five EuCARD-2 accelerator networks.
D1.4.1) EuCAN web
pages available: Continuously updated online resources to provide the
accelerator networking work packages with information such as relevant events
and publications (Task 1.4) [month 2]
D1.4.2) Key results of the five accelerator networks: A report on the main results from the accelerator networking work packages, namely WP3: EnEfficient, WP4: AccApplic, WP5: XBEAM, WP6: LOW-e-RING and WP7: EuroNNAc2. (Task 1.4) [month 48]
