Have you caught wind of CERN’s latest news? The research organization that explores the fundamental nature of the universe through particle physics and operates the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is now embarking on an ambitious project to construct an even bigger particle collider spanning 90 kilometers! But what is the rationale behind such an endeavor? What are the implications for both science, geopolitics and society? And naturally, the pressing inquiries: What is the projected cost of such an endeavour, and what about its environmental ramifications?
Join us for a seminar featuring insights from two distinguished experts: Professor Rebeca Gonzalez Suarez, a CERN physicist hailing from Uppsala University, Sweden, and Dr. Ana Godinho, the head of education, communications and outreach at CERN. Together, we will delve into the future trajectory of CERN and high-energy physics. The session will conclude with an opportunity for discussion and queries, ensuring you walk away equipped with all the information you seek.
Organisation: Noah Roux (noah.roux@outlook.com), Master Student in the joint High-Energy Physics program at ETHZ and l’X (Paris), and Xavier Kervyn (kervyn.xavier@gmail.com), Master Student in the joint Master Course in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics at TUM and LMU Munich.
Additional ressources, such as articles and videos on the topic will be sent to the participants before the event.
Target audience: This seminar is indended to all members of the Swiss Study Foundation, regardless of their field of study.
