15. 3.2 From idea to realization of a HEP experiment (CERN)

Rolf Lindner (CERN)

20/05/2014, 09:15

High Energy Particle physics (HEP) experiments increased steadily in complexity, number of collaborators, duration and budget. The road to success from an idea to the final realization is long and builds on close cooperation between collaborating institutes and industry and an almost flat hierarchy. The different steps towards the final implementation of a HEP experiment are presented using...

16. 3.3 ALMA - a real world example (ESO)

W. Wild (ESO)

20/05/2014, 09:30

This talk would present the ALMA management scheme and outline successes and difficulties encountered during 10+ years of construction.

17. 3.4 Project management processes at the European XFEL project (XFEL)

R. Wichmann (XFEL)

20/05/2014, 09:45

The project organization and the management processes for the realization of the European XFEL are described in the XFEL project Handbook. This handbook contains descriptions of the rules and responsibilities within the project and an outline of the main project management processes scheduling, resource planning, project internal reporting and follow-up. These processes are supported by a...

18. 3.5 ATLAS as an example of a large scientific collaboration (CERN)

Markus Nordberg (CERN)

20/05/2014, 10:00

How do large scientific collaborations work? ATLAS as a case. The presentation will give an overview how large scientific projects such as the LHC experiments are governed and funded and what type of instruments (MoUs) are used to execute them.

19. 3.6 ATTRACT Initiative - detector R&D and imaging program funded by EC (CERN)

Markus Nordberg (CERN)

20/05/2014, 10:15

The presentation will summarize an initiative proposed to the European Commission for establishing a dedicated program for ionizing radiation and imaging R&D, cutting across all fields developing such sensors and related technologies. ATTRACT is science driven but integrates European Small and Medium Enterprises as co-developers, aiming at shortening the innovation cycle from research to societal use.
