Forum on New International Research Facilities for South East Europe
ICTP, Trieste
The main objective of the Forum is to bring together the main partners for realising international laboratories in South East Europe combining capacity building with bringing nations together following the CERN model. Among them are designers of the projects, potential future users of the region, scientists and engineers from universities and national laboratories, representatives of industry, and of government agencies. In introductory presentations the importance of international cooperation for science and training in the region will be illuminated.
