20–21 Jun 2022
CERN
Europe/Zurich timezone

The purpose of this Workshop is to engage participants in 3-4 projects related to detection and imaging and to communicating them to laymen, in an  unashamedly futuristic and speculative setting.

The challenge: How to say it better than Patrick Fitzgerald*, to what a world will sensing and imaging take us?

The participants are invited to:

  • extrapolate from the presented projects to imagine potential futures in which the science and technology has had significant impact
  • come up with narratives that can clearly communicate the significance of the work being done at CERN and ATTRACT.

We invite SF-writers, philosophers, futurists, designers, anthropologists, political scientists, sociologists, psychologists, historians, engineers and (selected) physicists to attend. Limited seats available. Unfortunately, we cannot pay for travel and stay, but lunches, dinner and a visit to the Secrets of the Universe (CMS) will be offered, provided the COVID situation allows on-site visits.

A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
