key figures from 2022

Looking back at 2022

The year started under the continuing shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, with both the Joint Universities Accelerator School (JUAS) and the European School of Instrumentation for Particle and Astroparticle Physics (ESIPAP) run on-line between January and March. Building on the success of the 2021 on-line editions, several innovations were implemented to ensure that high standards were maintained for the 93 students participating in ESI’s winter programme.

The long-awaited return to face-to-face teaching came in June with the first of the Philippe Sabatier BioHealth Computing schools, Precision Oncology. This was followed by Computational Medicine in August, Learning from Health Data in September and UHC School Lab in October, the four schools mobilising 113 students in all.

In July, the first edition of the I.FAST challenge brought together 23 students of physics, engineering, environmental science, law and business to design innovative solutions to environmental challenges using particle accelerators. The year came to an end in December with the Science Trading workshop in which 14 students had the opportunity to meet and interact with export-driven companies based at ArchParc.

Student testimonies

Watanyu FOOSANG
PhD Candidate, Université Paris-Saclay

By providing a comprehensive and coherent course programme, JUAS really fulfilled my expectation of building a strong foundation in the field. I have gained so much more understanding in accelerator physics. JUAS 2021

Lorenzo Crescimbeni
PHD, GOETHE UNIVERSITY FRANKFURT (GERMANY)

I am very satisfied with the courses I followed and have already started to see the effect of them on the quality on my PhD work. JUAS 2022

Grazia D’AGOSTINO
Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellow At IBA

The school allowed to me to deepen my knowledge in technologies and applications of particle accelerators, to acquire cutting-edge information from the lectures and seminars and to expand my working network. Considering the logistical difficulties, the organization of the school in the on-line format was excellent. JUAS 2021

Leandro INTELISANO
PhD Candidate University Of Rome La Sapienza / CERN

Despite the limitations due to the pandemic, it was a fascinating journey into accelerator technologies and their applications guided by exceptional experts. JUAS 2021

Victor DU BUAT
MSc Nuclear Engineering, Grenoble INP-UGA

It was great to have the accelerator design course and workshop as it was an occasion to put all we saw together and to have an overview on what designing a particle accelerator may be. JUAS 2021

Viveka GAUTAM
PhD in Particle Detectors, ATLAS Pixels Group – IFAE

I was searching for a training about electronics for detectors which could give me an overview of CERN. With ESIPAP I got everything in one place. I cannot find another course with this perfect combination. Given the circumstances this year (pandemic), ESIPAP was organised perfectly. ESIPAP 2021

Lucio Crincoli
PHD, UNIVERSITÀ DI ROMA LA SAPIENZA (ITALY)

JUAS opened new horizons for me in the world of particle accelerators, with amazing insights into their applications and also to virtually access the most important accelerator facilities in the world. JUAS 2022

Akomoneh RAYMOND
MSc Computational Science & Engineering, Universität Rostock

I cannot imagine the time it would have taken and the volumes of books and magazines I would have had to read to get this level of experience. The content of the lectures has been rich and, in some cases, challenging to understand. The fact that after just five weeks at JUAS I am already…

Enrico Manosperti
PHD, UNIVERSITAT POLITÈCNICA DE CATALUNYA (SPAIN)

JUAS allowed me to enter my PhD without any gaps and with a high level of preparation. The lectures, although online, were carried out in an excellent way with teachers who were able to make us passionate about the subjects. JUAS 2022

Robin MOLLE
Master in Nuclear and Energy Engineering, Grenoble INP – Phelma

It is one of the best parts of my training, even if it was remotely organized. I did not think I would have learnt so much in such a short time. To exchange with teachers and people from different nationalities is a huge strength. ESIPAP 2021

Adnan Kurtulus
PHD, ETHZ (SWITZERLAND)

As a student with a background in electronic engineering, it was a great experience to learn all about accelerator physics. The course covers all the fundamentals as well as real-life applications in the field. The highlight for me was the accelerator design workshop. JUAS 2022

Saliou FALL
Master in the Characterization of Materials by Neutron Spectroscopy, Institute of Applied Nuclear Technology

Thank you to all the pedagogical team that allowed me to work with impending researchers, to have access to laboratories of the latest technologies and to have a huge experience. This course allowed me to put into practice concepts of which I knew only the theory. ESIPAP 2021

Ruben Heine
MASTER STUDENT, TU BERLIN (GERMANY)

With experts and professors from CERN and universities all over Europe presenting their fields, densely but passionately, there is no better way of starting a career in particle accelerators in my opinion. JUAS 2022

Malak AIT TAMLIHAT
PhD in High Energy Physics, Mohammed V University

I was very happy to have participated to this wonderful school. I am so appreciative of all you have done to help us acquire solid training in several areas of research and it was a pleasure to know all of you. Many Thanks !!! ESIPAP 2021

Damien GILMANT
System Owner Rhodotron TT300HE, Ion Beam Applications - IBA

The lecturers are all experts passionate about sharing their knowledge. This is really the key asset of JUAS. JUAS 2021

Angelica De Gregorio
PHD, UNIVERSITÀ DI ROMA LA SAPIENZA (ITALY)

My experience at JUAS course 1 was really positive. I had the chance to learn from really well-prepared professors who were always available for insights/extra explanations. Despite the remote format, the school gave me the possibility to know other realities in the accelerator world and to meet many interesting people with similar aspirations. JUAS 2022

Abhishek Panchal
MASTER, INSTITUT POLYTECHNIQUE DE PARIS (FRANCE)

It was a one-of-a-kind experience, even though online. The people at ESI made us feel very welcome and went above and beyond to make it an exciting 5 weeks. A wide range of topics were covered and I was able to decide what field I wanted to pursue in future. JUAS 2022
