  1. TIARA-mTM Mid-Term Meeting R. Aleksan CIEMAT, June 12th. 2012 TIARA website: http://www.eu-tiara.eu 61 registered participants as of today Welcome to • Meeting Objectives • General Information • Deliverables/milestones • Mid-Term meeting • Conclusion mid-Term Meeting

  2. Thanks Heartily thanks to Prof. CayetanoLópez Director General and Prof. Ramon Gavela Deputy Director General and Jose M. Perez Director of Technology for hosting TIARA

  3. General context Europe isgoingthrough an unprecedentedcrisis since the last World War This crisiswillbe long and iscalling for a new political, economical and financial model There will be (is) opposite temptations /dangers National withdrawal vs European Solidarity “Communautarisme” vs Multiculturalism As wedid in the past, scientists (we) have to play a leadingrole in paving the waytoward a peaceful and collaborative society We have to work together to show thatour Society needs Science for Europe and Europe for Science

  4. Potential of Accelerators is huge The development of state of the art accelerators is essential for many manyfields of science(fundamental, applied or industrial) Research accelerators • Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics, Research fields using light source, Research fields usingspallation neutron sources,Study of material for fusion, Study of transmutation… In past 50 years, about 1/3 of Physics Nobel Prizes are rewarding work based on or carried out with accelerators This « market » represents ~15 000 M€ for the next 15 years, i.e. ~1 000M€/year • radiotherapy, electron therapy, • hadron (proton/ion)therapy… Clinical accelerators • ion implanters, electron beam and X-ray irradiators, radioisotope production… Industrial accelerators This marketrepresents~3 000M€/yearand isincreasingat a rate of ~10% /year

  5. TIARAObjectives The Big Issues to be integrated within TIARA Coordinated wide scope sustainable programme Collaborative R&D projects Access to broad variety of large infrastructures Enhanced Partnership and Technology Transfer to Industry for boosting innovation Strong Education &Training in Accelerator Science and Technology

  6. Mid-TERM meeting Objectives Main objectives • Provide general information on TIARA • Review the work done so far • deliverables/milestones, highlights, difficulties • Prepare for second half of TIARA-PP (ending dec. 2013) • Exchange our views on how to strengthen accelerator R&D • Note also • mTM (withnextbiannual report) isacknowledged • by the EC as being part of the mid-termreview Note : TIARA-PP istimelywith the EuropeanStrategy for ParticlesPhysics

  7. TIARA general information StrongInterest for TIARA frommanycommunities • ESRF (visited on February 14th ) • ESS (see P. Carlson talk on Thursday) • ITER/F4E (discussion with R. Heidinger on April 18th ) • NuPPECC (TIARA presentation at NuPPECC meeting on June 16th ) • ECFA (TIARA presentation at RECFA meeting on October 6th ) Further information relative to TIARA • Change in the EC unit for Infrastructures • Visited new unit leader (A. Antelo) on February 28th • TIARA posterrepresented at ICRI 2012

  8. TIARA general information Other information • EuCARD2 project approved (but negotiation delayed) • Accelerator R&D is a full topic for PP Strategy • a2 hour session at Krakow symposium TIARA generalactivities • On-going discussion for a joint TIARA-HlLumi workshop with industry (cf. A. Unnervik) • CD&O initiatives (Logo, newsletter, brochure, website… see C. Tanguy) • Biannual report (June 2012) will be used as mid-term report

  19. Some TIARA Achievements • … just a flavour (non-exhaustive) • WP1: Besides the maintenance of externaland internalWebsites as well as the documentation database (21 documents so far) Someother achievements for communication Newsletter http://www.acceleratingnews.eu/ New logo Other actions willbepresentedduring the meeting

  20. Mid-Term block agenda Madrid June 12th – 15th http://events.ciemat.es/web/tiara

  21. Conclusions The objectives of TIARA are very ambitious and challenging Work has started and is progressing reasonably well, but there is still a lot to do for this endeavor to be successful It is our common task to make it a success and ensure the sustainability of accelerator R&D …but for now, I wishyou a veryfruitful meeting TIARA willstrengthenfurther Accelerator science; a powerful meantoward scientific, technical and industrial breakthroughs…
