CERN Council Open Symposium on European Strategy for Particle Physics

During its December meetings, the CERN Council announced that an Open Symposium will be held in Kraków on 10-12 September 2012 for the purpose of updating the European Strategy for Particle Physics. The Council adopted Europe's current strategy for the field in July 2006 with an understanding that it be brought up to date at appropriate intervals of typically five years.

The Open Symposium is part of a process designed to get the maximum input from the particle-physics community, as well as from other stakeholders both inside and outside Europe, as Europe's strategy forms part of a global whole. Opinion will be solicited from the individual scientists who carry out the research, the communities that stand to benefit and the research ministries that will foot the bill. With help from the local organizing committee, the Open Symposium will be arranged by a preparatory group appointed by the Council and provide an opportunity for the global particle-physics community to express its views on the scientific objectives of the strategy.

 

Satellite closed meetings of the European Strategy Group and European Strategy Preparatory Group will take place on the 9th, 12th and 13th.
