[Mms-experimental-program] TRIUMF Science Week Aug 17-21, 2020 – program available

[Science Division Shared Account]

Dear TRIUMF Friends and Colleagues, Members of the Community,

The program for  TRIUMF Science Week (Aug 17-21 2020) is now available on Indico<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeetings.triumf.ca%2Findico%2Fevent%2F116%2F&data=02%7C01%7Camcgowan%40triumf.ca%7Cf1d315acc1654996fc8908d822963bdf%7Cc20535109cb34679a2d38f442e03b587%7C1%7C0%7C637297375943738234&sdata=jbkd20bK6e%2BHN16MKaHJfaNaPgeoIqiOC5d3MMU04hk%3D&reserved=0> with most speakers having been confirmed.

The event will be held completely online and access information will be made available in the week preceding the event.

As previously announced, Science Week will be the kick-off event for the development of the 20-year vision for the laboratory and its community. The process will include opportunities to develop and present proposals of new ideas during Science Week and subsequent townhall meetings, topical workshops and other consultation with the community. We currently plan to complete the process in the summer of 2021 and by then have a 20-year vision to present to the TRIUMF community, the TRIUMF Board and stakeholders.

The program will follow this general outline:

  *   Monday: Current TRIUMF science program in Five-Year Plan 2020-25
  *   Tuesday: Science drivers + international planning exercises
  *   Wednesday: Topical talks
  *   Thursday: Topical talks + Topical parallel sessions
  *   Friday: New potential initiatives + Reports from parallel sessions + TUG AGM

As always, there will be time reserved for the TRIUMF User Group Annual General Meeting. The remaining time will be devoted to present and discuss ideas for the 20-year vision for TRIUMF in the fields of Accelerator Science, Data Science, Life Sciences, Nuclear Science, Particle Physics, Quantum Materials, and Quantum Technologies. Science Week will also allow to connect to national and international science planning exercises, such as the Canadian Sub-Atomic Physics (SAP) Long Range Planning process, the nuclear and particle physics strategic planning processes in the US (NSAC, SNOMASS) and in Europe (NUPECC, CERN European Strategy Group (ESG)) and similar processes in other fields.

A special emphasis of the 2020 Science Week will be given to enable cross- and inter-disciplinary discussion throughout the TRIUMF science program. We hope to bring together many members of the TRIUMF community and have fruitful and innovative ideas and discussions as the starting point of the TRIUMF 20-year vision process.

The parallel sessions on Thursday will allow for more in-depth discussions and community contributions.

If you want to contribute, please reach out to any of the conveners for the Science Week program:
Rick Baartman, Beatrice Franke, Tobias Junginger, Kenji Kojima, David Morrissey, Caterina Ramogida, Chris Ruiz, Monika Stachura, Oliver Stelzer-Chilton
