PAEN Annual Meeting 2024
About
The particle accelerator engineering network is a unique assemblage of scientists, engineers, academics and technicians involved in the fascinating world of particle accelerators.
The annual meeting is a chance to catch-up in the latest engineering developments in the field as well as network with like-minded engineers. Topical applications of particle accelerators are also discussed, such as the ISIS-II, REUDI, AI for accelerators and thin-film SRF.
The conference will also include an early career engineer poster prize and an accelerator technician of the year prize.
We have a packed agenda and will include a panel discussion with industry leaders from STFC, Universities and Industry on the topic of “Recruitment and retention of engineers into the accelerator sector” with questions submitted by YOU in advance.
Speakers include:
- Dan Seal(STFC & Lancaster): Thin film superconducting RF development and testing
- Amelia Pollard (STFC): AI for Accelerators
- Mike Ellis (STFC): RUEDI
- Nathan Eldridge (Elekta): Digital Twinning for Accelerators
We particularly encourage the attendance of early-career engineers and technicians.
