Initial work plan: outline WP 5. 1 survey of students and teaching resources WP 5. 2 study of the “market” for trained Accelerator Scientists WP 5. 3 establish a plan of action for promoting Accelerator Science Philip Burrows TIARA Preparation Board, CERN, 14/10/09
Initial work plan: WP 5. 1 will carry out a survey of the number of Accelerator Science students and trainees and its evolution in Europe. It will also survey the available courses and teaching resources (including text books, lecture courses, and www-based materials) in European universities, laboratories and research organisations. A training database of accessible materials will be set up and updated regularly. Philip Burrows TIARA Preparation Board, CERN, 14/10/09
Initial work plan: WP 5. 2 will study and develop the “market” for trained Accelerator Scientists, including physicists, engineers and technicians, for research, healthcare, industry and public service. One possibility to be explored is the creation of a centralized database of career opportunities for Accelerator Scientists within Europe. This study will be widely publicized and regularly updated to reflect (often rapid) developments in the field. Philip Burrows TIARA Preparation Board, CERN, 14/10/09
Initial work plan: WP 5. 3 will establish of a plan of action for promoting Accelerator Science at multiple levels: i) within schools, in order to help attract bright young people into science and engineering disciplines; ii) within universities, in order to enhance the pool of graduate-level trained individuals; iii) within universities and research organisations that provide postgraduate qualifications (Masters and Ph. Ds), in order to ensure the flow of highly-skilled individuals; iv) within industry, so as to capitalize on Accelerator Science technologies and applications; v) within society at large, in order to assist understanding of the many societal benefits that are built upon Accelerator Science. Philip Burrows TIARA Preparation Board, CERN, 14/10/09
Initial work plan: WP 5. 3. 1 Developing the European academic sector for accelerator sciences: • Creation of a European masters (consistent with the Bologna process) in Accelerator Science. • Grants for European masters/Ph. D studies in Accelerator Science. • Internships for masters/Ph. D students. • Joint organization/coordination of courses and training schools. • Integration of accelerator science training infrastructures within accelerator R&D laboratories. Philip Burrows TIARA Preparation Board, CERN, 14/10/09
Initial work plan: WP 5. 3. 2 Training and transfer of knowledge between research centres, including healthcare and industry: • Exchange of staff • Joint training • Accelerator operation training Evaluation of required resources for the proposed actions Philip Burrows TIARA Preparation Board, CERN, 14/10/09
Initial work plan: deliverables Education + training survey - report (month 12) Market for accelerator scientists – report (month 24) Plan of action for promoting accelerator science – report (month 36) Philip Burrows TIARA Preparation Board, CERN, 14/10/09
