This lecture will review the history of the LHC project\, focusing on the many challenges -- scientific \, technological\, managerial -- that had to be met during the various pha ses of R&D\, industrialization\, construction\, installation and commissio ning.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=92218 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=92218 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:CERN and high energy physics\, the grand picture DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100622T143000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100622T153000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T025335Z UID:indico-event-92241@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:The lecture will touch on several topics\, to illustrate\n the role of CERN in the present and future of high-energy physics: how\n does CERN work? What is the role of\n the scientific community\, of b odies like Council\n and SPC\, and of international cooperation\, in th e definition of CERN's\n scientific programme? What are the plans for t he future\n of the LHC and of the non-LHC physics programme? What is th e role\n of R&D and technology transfer at CERN?\n\nhttp://indico.cern. ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=92241 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=92241 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The operation of the LHC detectors DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100628T083000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100629T140000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T025335Z UID:indico-event-97140@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:The lectures\, delievered by some of the physicists in cha rge of the run operations of the 4 large experiments\, will review wha t happens between the beam injection\, the start of data taking\, and the first processing of the raw data and its distribution to the Grid.
