ORIGIN in the Balkans

Thursday 30 Aug 2018, 09:00 → 11:00 Europe/Zurich

42/R-016 (CERN)

Split organisation:

1. Teacher's day: will meet at the beginning of the week, as there was no ramping up like in Canada -> trained as "ambassadors" of the program in their schools. List of "reading links" prepared for Toronto will be migrated to the web site + bookmark with QR code redone. 

2. Art-Science public event: no plan for a large scale public lectures evening, as it was already done in Split and organisation is too heavy. It is too early for a University talk (still in vacation). Go instead for an evening round-table about art & science, on either Thursday or Friday evening. Will be advertised and open to public. 

3. Schools: will visit the exhibit at the end of the week. Foresee lectures, enough local scientists to give introductions to schools in their language . Possibility to add English tours - for the public - by conference scientists who do not speak Croatian, once or twice per day. 

4. Tourists:  will be caught by large banners on the conference building. Shown to be very efficient last time (included in local guides tours). Science café  ? 

5. Shipping:  Michael's material is ~ 5 m3. Itinerary to be finalised asap.

 6. Setup: ATLAS new input is discussed. No extra poster allowed, go instead for plastified A4 photos on a black tablecloth. Labels have to be produced for all: blank with the origin logo, will put hand-written comments 

7. Workshops: interferometer to be discussed next week (Chiara will be in Italy)

--->  Action list for CERN based people: integrate reading list in web site; redo bookmark and labels with Origin logo; week planning & setup draft to be discussed next week in a special meeting (see date below).

 

Longer term news: 

- Alice joins ORIGIN, will be present at Split

- Contacts successfully established with Adelaide ATLAS group for CHEP (4-8 Nov 2019). Outreach event "a la Sofia" is granted, can add subset of origin material if a sponsor is found. Claire will follow up with CERN and BNL (a special budget line was created for the ATLAS Origin contribution, but it does not allow more that a bit of travelling and bits and pieces material). 

- Very early contacts with LHCP conference organisers (Mexico, 20-25 May 2019). The fact that ALICE joins will help a lot, as local institute is ALICE. To be discussed with them @Split. 

 

Next meeting: Wednesday sept 5, 9am  (to avoid the Jeune Genevois)
