ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference: explore the 10 Student Programmes
ATTRACT is an initiative enabling the transition of the technology generated mainly for fundamental research purposes toward industrial and societal applications. It aims to streamline this process by creating an innovation ecosystem that reduces risk through funding and expertise. Furthermore, it also seeks to connect researchers with young innovators and potential investors to maximise the benefits of the new technologies to society.
ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference: discover the 18 R&D&I funded projects
The ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference, held at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, was a crucial event for ATTRACT phase 2. It brought together a large community of researchers and innovators to explore technological advancements with the potential to address critical societal challenges and push the boundaries of scientific discovery. Specifically, it provided an excellent opportunity for the 18 R&D&I-funded projects to showcase their progress and potential impact.
Scouting the flow of data for the future High Luminosity LHC
How to manage large amounts of data without losing any interesting ones? The selection of data concerning particle collisions in the LHC is critical since it will determine all the resulting analyses. This is the decisive work of a novel scouting system located at the beginning of the data chain.
