7th Workshop for Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures

Event description

In the current decade, after contrasted indications of dwindling and instable energy resources, energy cost rises and severe evidences of climate change, the sustainability of technical infrastructures has been confirmed as an unavoidable demand. New medium and large dimension research infrastructures are forced to face this challenging scenario.

Extreme performance operation and cutting-edge technologies often lead to high power consumption. The development of next generation research and technological infrastructures and the upgrade of existing ones demand new concepts in terms of sustainability, affecting both to new technological concepts and reconsidering the operation of the facilities.

Besides, the clear increase of carbon-free, renewable energy sources, energy-efficient systems, more advanced energy storage integration and smart grids can reduce strain on the energy supply. But this cannot be an excuse for delaying the transition to sustainable infrastructures. In this regard, collaboration among scientists, engineers, environmental experts and scientific policy makers is crucial for devising long-term strategies for sustainable research infrastructure.

Sustainable development and operation of research infrastructures does not limit to energy efficiency considerations; it also encompasses circular economy concepts and a proper life cycle of materials and components, concluding with a responsible management of wastes. Embracing transformative changes towards sustainability means progress and innovation. Research facilities must take a leading position in environmental consciousness and the pursuit of efficient energy solutions, inspiring other sectors.

Renewable energy sources offer hope for a greener future, including solar, wind, and geothermal technologies. Energy-efficient systems and smart grids can mitigate power demand and reduce strain on traditional energy grids. Integrating energy storage and management systems is essential for a stable power supply.

The main goal of this event is to identify the challenges, technical and strategical, to develop and implement sustainable solutions at research infrastructures. This includes sharing experiences on new energy-efficient technologies, energy management at research infrastructures, review how the energy sustainability is faced on the current research projects, analyze life cycle, and discuss about future aims and trends, among other topics. Specific interest will be paid to involve pre-doctoral students into the workshop discussions, to promote the involvement of the young research staff on the event topics.

To stimulate exchanges and foster contacts and cooperation among the participants, the format of the event has been selected to be in-presence, although speakers from non European institutions will be exceptionally allowed to participate on-line.

CIEMAT, in collaboration with CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research), the ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility), DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron), PSI (the Paul Scherrer Institut), ESS (The European Spallation Source) and ERF (The European Association of National Research Facilities) will host the Seventh Workshop on Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures Facilities in Madrid on 25-27 November 2024, as a continuation of a series of events hosted by ESS (2011), CERN (2013), DESY (2015), ELI-NP (2017), PSI (2019) and ESRF (2022).

International Linear Collider Workshop 2024

The 2024 International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders (LCWS2024) continues the series devoted to the study of the physics, detectors, and accelerator issues relating to high-energy linear electron-positron colliders. A linear collider will initially operate as a Higgs factory, and provides a clear path for upgrades in energy and luminosity.

Since the last workshop (LCWS2023), many significant steps have been made. With a wide program of plenary and parallel sessions, this workshop will provide an opportunity to present ongoing work and to get informed and involved.

The workshop is scheduled from the morning of 8th of July to the late afternoon of 11th of July. We plan to have an evening reception on the 8th, and a conference dinner on the 10th. The workshop will be held at the University of Tokyo (Hongo and/or Yayoi campus), located in the heart of Tokyo.

IDM 2024

The goal of this conference is to draw a complete picture of the status of dark matter searches from the theoretical to the experimental point of view.

IDM 2024 is planned as an in-person conference on July 8-12, 2024. It will be held in L’Aquila, the capital city of the Abruzzo region in Italy. After the tragic earthquake of 2009 and the intense large-scale reconstruction of the last 14 years, L’Aquila has a strong commitment to innovation, science and technology.

This 15th IDM edition is jointly organized by the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI), the Department of Physical and Chemical Sciences of the L’Aquila University (UnivAQ) and the National Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS). The city of L’Aquila is hungry for scientific and cultural events. Hosting three big scientific institutions, L’Aquila is a crossroads playing a crucial role in modern dark matter searches. LNGS is one of the most advanced underground facilities worldwide, hosting top-class experiments in a variety of particle physics fields. The Lab is an internationally recognized science centre and has an enormous cultural impact on the region. UnivAQ is a well-established reality with 17000 students and 7 departments, including Physics and Chemistry, Engineering, and Humanities. The excellence Ph.D. school GSSI, established in 2013 as part of the cultural renovation of the city, gained in a few years international relevance in its 4 research areas: Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Social Studies.

Muon4Future

The Muon4Future workshop aims to start a discussion that, for the first time, compares the results of the muon-based experiments, involving both the experimental and theoretical communities. Such a comparison is indispensable today since many of the discrepancies between the Standard Model and the measurements are concentrated in the muon sector. The purpose of the workshop is not only limited to examining the experiments currently carried out in data taking or already approved and/or under construction, but it also aims at discussing possible future proposals. The goal is to identify the most promising physics experiments and measurements that would allow to further test the Standard Model and search for new physics, comparing new ideas, relevant issues and related challenges.

The proceedings of the workshop will be published. A report containing the summary and the findings of the discussions of each session including Wednesday afternoon, will be prepared and published. The session conveners will be the editors and the workshop participants the authors of such a publication.

The Workshop will be held in presence in Venice, at “Palazzo Franchetti” of the “Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti”. The Workshop will have plenary sessions and talks are given by invited speakers.

To participate to the workshop a fee has to be paid and registration is mandatory through the relevant registration form on this site.
