DESCRIPTION:The annual BigScience@LU event will be held online via Zoom on
  November 5\, 2020. Welcome to a half-day day filled with inspiration\, n
 etworking\, and ecosystem building\, involving the research community at L
 und University\, the facilities ESS\, MAX IV\, CERN\, and ITER\, and Swedi
 sh companies.\n\n\nThe central question of this workshop will be:\n\nDefin
 ing areas of strength at Lund University in Big Science\n\n\nLast year’s
  conference focused on gathering proposals from the Lund University perspe
 ctive for the upcoming Government Bill on Research. We will also be discus
 sing the outcome of this.\n\nPractical Information\n\n\n	The event can onl
 y be attended digitally due to the latest restrictions\n	The "workshop" el
 ement will be held over lunch\n	If you live in Lund\, you can register to 
 have lunch delivered to you.\n\n\nThe Zoom-link will be sent out to all pa
 rticipants after the registration deadline\, which is November 3.\n\nWhy a
 ttend BigScience@LU?\n\nBig Science facilities are not only important as m
 ajor research tools for academia. The actual building and upgrading of the
 se facilities drives the development of new\, cutting-edge technologies an
 d processes. This new technology not only boosts the Big Science community
  but can often be used in unrelated research areas and may have major impa
 ct on other societal challenges and innovation.\n\nThere are multiple bene
 fits for academia when engaging in contributions to the upstream delivery 
 of technology to Big Science facilities - scientific\, technological and s
 ocietal. Another possible benefit is new collaboration with industries tha
 t manufacture products used in Big Science.\n\nThis workshop focuses on Lu
 nd University's past\, present\, and future involvement in upstream delive
 ry to Big Science facilities\, lifting questions such as:\n\n\n	\n	What is
  Lund University's track record in boosting Big Science\, and what are our
  main strengths?\n	\n	\n	In which additional areas do we want to develop o
 ver the next ten years? How do we ensure a steady flow of expertise and sk
 ills\, and educate the right students?\n	\n	\n	How do we both attract and 
 maintain the right expertise at the university when the needs of these fac
 ilities fluctuate over time and development cycles?\n	\n	\n	How should we 
 tackle the national issue of in-kind delivery to Big Science projects?\n	\
 n\n\nThis event is co-hosted by Lund University\, Big Science Sweden\, and
  LINXS.\n \n\nhttps://lindico453.srv.lu.se/event/187/
