Conveners
Early Career Researchers
- Sarah Louise Williams (University of Cambridge (GB))
- Eliezer Rabinovici (Weizmann Institute of Science (IL))
Description
This session will discuss recent ongoing efforts in the UK to facilitate discussions about future colliders within the early career researcher (ECR) community, and ideas to promote further discussions within the FCC community. In particular, it will describe an ECR forum that was hosted by the University of Birmingham in April 2022, involving a group of around 40 ECRs from around the UK. The event was divided into four sessions discussing the current physics landscape (including anomalies), accelerator and detector technologies for future colliders, the funding landscape and steps involved in starting new collaborations and opportunities and challenges for ECRs doing R+D for future experiments.. Following this meeting the organizers are now aiming to arrange a follow-up event within the UK ECR community to further support discussions on this topic. The hope is that sharing the experiences of the organizing committee for this event (which was entirely composed of ECRs) with the FCC community will inspire further initiatives in this area. Some of the interesting lessons and insights raised in the session will also be discussed. This session will be run interactively, with opportunities for discussion amongst those present, both on the topics presented and the experiences of ECRs from across the FCC community.
