DESCRIPTION:Want to do projects in Big Science?\n\nLund University is alre
 ady delivering a host of things to European Big Science (and international
 ly). On the 24th of April\, Lund University and Big Science Sweden will co
 -host a workshop at LINXS in Lund. The focus will be on academic input an
 d delivery to Big Science facilities like ESS\, MAX IV\, CERN and others*\
 , when it comes to building\, maintaining and upgrading these science fact
 ories.  \n\nBig Science facilities are not only important as major resea
 rch tools for  academia. The actual building and upgrading of these facil
 ities drive the development of new\, cutting-edge technologies and process
 es. This new technology not only boosts the Big Science community but can 
 often also be used in unrelated research areas and may have major impact o
 n other societal challenges and innovation.\n\nTherefore\, there are multi
 ple benefits for academia when engaging in contributions to the upstream d
 elivery of technology to Big Science facilities - scientific\, technologic
 al and societal. Another possible benefit is new collaboration with indust
 ries that manufacture products used in Big Science.\n\nThis workshop focus
 es on Lund University's past and future involvement in upstream delivery t
 o Big Science facilities\, taking up questions such as:\n\n\n	What is Lund
  University's track record in boosting Big Science\, and what are our main
  strengths?\n	What additional areas do we want to develop in over the next
  10 years? How do we ensure a steady flow of competence and educate the ri
 ght students?\n	How do we both attract and maintain the right competence a
 t the university when the needs of these facilities fluctuate over time an
 d development cycles?\n	How should we tackle the national issue of in-kind
  delivery to Big Science projects?\n\n\nOne starting point for this discus
 sion is the mapping of LU deliveries that was done for The Swedish Guide p
 roduced by Big Science Sweden (we are of course aware that many more contr
 ibutions are relevant).\n\n* The total list of relevant facilities include
 s (but is not limited to): CERN\, FAIR\, ITER\, ESS\, ILL\, ISIS\, MAX IV\
 , DESY\, XFEL\, ESRF\, ESO\, EISCAT and SKA.\n\n              \n\n
