Affiliated Big Science Organisations
Big Science Business Forum 2021 will also bring together affiliated Big Science organisations (ABSOs). ABSOs will be European or large national Big Science organisations that procure European-wide or internationally. They will be mainly single-sited facilities that have a significant construction budget or upgrading projects in the period 2020-2024 and have an interest in communication with industry regarding upcoming business opportunities and procurements that are open for European industry.
BSBF2021 welcomes expression of interest from Big Science Organisations in Europe to become BSBF2021 Affiliated Big Science Organisations. Eligible institutions are European or large national Big Science organisations that procure European-wide or internationally, and with tenders published in English language.
The envisaged group of Affiliated Big Science Organisations are facilities that have a significant construction budget or upgrading projects in the period 2020-2024 and have an interest in communicating with industry regarding upcoming business opportunities and procurements that are open for European industry. Organisations that primarily have an interest in addressing the European industry as end users of the facility are not the object of this call, as the focus of BSBF2021 is industrial supplies to Big Science rather than industrial use of Big Science
Selected Affiliated Big Science Organisations will participate in two specially designed parallel sessions for Affiliated Big Science Organisation on 29 and 30 September 2021.
In 2020, a first call for Affiliated Big Science Organisations was launched, which resulted in four organisations joining BSBF2021 as ABSOs:
A second call for Affiliated Big Science Organsiations will open in January 2021.
