2nd HiLumi Industry Day

Two upcoming industrial events in connection with the major CERN project for the next decade, the High Luminosity LHC project (HL-LHC), will be held in Lisbon, Portugal on 31 October 2016 and in the United Kingdom in March 2017.

These events follow the previous industrial workshop “HiLumi LHC goes to Industry” held at CERN in June 2015. Leading companies in the fields of superconductivity, cryogenics, power electronics, electrical engineering, mechanics, ultra-high vacuum or radiofrequency will meet HL-LHC project engineers to explore the technical and commercial challenges emerging from the design and procurement of the LHC upgrade accelerator, and to match them with state-of-the-art industrial solutions.

This initiative is structured as an event connecting CERN with the potential industrial partners facing the High Luminosity LHC specific technical challenges. It aims to foster R&D collaborations and knowledge exchange, preparing the field for the deployment of the European commercial potential.

In the morning, the opening ceremony and presentation of the HL-LHC project will be followed by several technical presentations that will detail the main technology domains as well as construction and procurement challenges. The timeline of the procurement to come, and the commercial framework talk will give another opportunity for further discussions.

In the afternoon, business to business meetings on topics relevant to the HL-LHC project will be arranged according to participant interests. In order to ease the organization of this session, participants are invited to sign-up though the registration form.

Companies willing to attend this event in Lisbon are kindly invited to register before Friday 30 September 2016.

Should you have doubts about your eligibility, please get in touch with your ILO beforehand. CERN reserves the right to accept or not your registration. You will receive a confirmation of your participation by Friday 7 October 2016. Please note that a maximum of two representatives per company will be accepted as places are limited.
