Join the videoconference here. The event is aimed at the CERN community and CERN Alumni, therefore physical attendance will require having a valid CERN access card.  CERN Alumni should use this form to request CERN access cards. Shantha Liyanage, Markus Nordberg and Marilena Streit-Bianchi will present their new book at the CERN Library: The book: Contains interviews with Big Science experimental staff, providing information on the effective management of big collaborations Gives insight into the experience of leading researchers of big experiments, revealing new approaches and epistemic cultures Connects several academic fields, as well as performance management, international collaborations, building scientific infrastructure, research funding, and research-development-innovation management Big Science, Innovation, and Societal Contributions offers a connection between Big Science and its societal impacts from a multidisciplinary perspective, drawing on physics and astrophysics scholars to explain the reasoning behind their work, and how such knowledge can be applied to everyday life.Through simplifying complex scientific concepts, Big Science, Innovation, and Societal Contributions explains the evolution of Big Science experiments and what it takes to manage and maintain complex scientific experiments with a human centred approach. Further, it examines the motivations behind international efforts to develop capital-intensive and human resource-rich, large-scale multi-national scientific investments to solve fundamental research problems concerning our future. Drawing on reliable scientific evidence, multi-disciplinary perspectives, and personal insights from collider physics, detectors, accelerator, and telescopes research, the volume outlines the mechanisms, benefits, and methodologies, as well as the potential challenges and short-comings, of Big Science, to learn and reflect on for future initiatives. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A and signing sessions. The book is available from the CERN Library & Bookshop.  About the authors (from OUP):  Shantha Liyanage, Associate of CERN, ATLAS Project,Markus Nordberg, Head of Resources Development, IPT-DI, Marilena Streit-Bianchi, Vice-President, ARSCIENCIA Shantha Liyanage obtained a biological science degree, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka and a PhD innovation management at the University of Wollongong, Australia.

CERN: An extraordinary human endeavour  CERN is a pioneer in making science, technology and know-how freely available to the world. Knowledge sharing – one of the core values enshrined in CERN’s founding convention – underpins its mission to support open science.  A brilliant example of this is the World Wide Web, developed at CERN for the benefit of society at large. At this event, leading scientists and experts will explore the extraordinary significance of international collaboration and open science in advancing scientific knowledge. They will also trace the evolution of the Web, discuss the imperative of democratisation of information and technology, and explore the emerging frontiers in digital technologies and AI. Join us for this fourth public event, held in collaboration with the CineGlobe festival , celebrating the Laboratory’s 70th anniversary and the CERN & Society Foundation’s 10th anniversary.  Event highlights: Science for All Advanced Particle Accelerators –  Panel discussion (in English with French simultaneous interpretation): join leading scientists and experts to explore the significance of international collaboration and open and inclusive science in advancing scientific knowledge. Chair: Frédéric Donck Speakers: •    Ana Godinho – Head of CERN’s Education, Communications and Outreach group •    Ana Persic – Programme Specialist for Science Technology and Innovation Policies and Open Science, UNESCO•    Javier Serrano – Leader of CERN’s Open Hardware Initiative and Board Chair of the White Rabbit collaboration•    Michel Spiro – Emeritus Research Director at CEA, President of IUPAP and Chair of the Board of the CERN & Society Foundation For Everyone – Documentary screening (in English with French subtitles): in 1989, the world’s largest physics laboratory, CERN, was a hive of ideas and information stored on incompatible computers. Tim Berners-Lee conceived a unifying structure to link information across different computers, leading to the birth of the World Wide Web in 1991. This documentary traces the origins of the Web and its future implications, setting the stage for our second panel discussion. Towards the Future: the Web and Beyond – Panel discussion (in English with French simultaneous interpretation): join Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the Web and CTO and co-founder of Inrupt, and other leading experts as we discuss the evolution of the Web, the democratisation of technology and the emerging frontiers in digital technologies and AI.  Chair: Frédéric Donck Speakers:•    Sir Tim Berners-Lee – Inventor of the Web and CTO and Co-founder of Inrupt•    Raf Buyle – Innovation Lead, Athumi•    Nadia Carlsten – Vice-President of Product, SandboxAQ •    Andy Yen – Founder and CEO, Proton With the participation of Fabiola Gianotti, CERN Director-General.  Discover the speakers‘ biographies here.  Practical information •    Date and time: Doors open at 4.30 p.m. for an evening of insight and inspiration.•    Location: Auditorium Sergio Marchionne, CERN Science Gateway campus•    Admission: Free of charge, but registration is required for in-person attendance.
