BIGINN invites its member companies, business partners and other interested parties to the Big Science Business Forum on 3-7 October in Granada, Spain, helping them with a small grant to cover cost for the trip. Travel to the Big Science Business Forum in Granada 4-7 October 2022 with a personal meeting programme and take the maximum advantage of the congress!

Organizers of Women in Big Science event have decided to extend the deadline up to 26th September, due to several requests. Don’t miss the opportunity to participate in the Women in Big Science Recognition Awards!

The purpose of this initiative is to recognise, celebrate and encourage succesful actions by organisations and projects aiming to advance gender eguality and diversity in the Big Science ecosystem. In particular, increase the proportion of women amongst staff and users of research facilities, across all leadership and decision-making positions in the private and public organisations active in big science. The Women in Big Science Recognition Award will be handed out at the Big Science Business Forum (BSBF), on 4 October 2022 in Granada, Spain

Plan your trip!  BSBF2022 makes available the following shuttle buses free of charge:

Tuesday, 4th October

Shuttle service from Málaga airport to the Granada Congress Centre every 30 minutes, with the first service departing at 10:30 and the last at 20:00.

Wednesday, 5th October:

Shuttle transfer to the gala dinner departing from the Granada Congress Centre at 19:00 and returning to the same point around 23:00, restricted to delegates registered to the gala dinner. Due to the narrow streets layout of the Granada historical quarter, buses will stop at a certain point from which participants will enjoy a nice 20 minutes walk to the Palacio de los Córdova along the slope of the Alhambra hill

Thursday, 6th October:

Shuttle transfer (one bus) to Granada airport upon closure of the congress (around 18:30). Boarding will be first-come, first-served.

Friday, 7th October:

Shuttle transfer  from the Granada Congress Centre the Málaga airport with two services at 9.00 and 16.30. Boarding will be first-come, first-served.

For those registered to the technical visits, there will be one bus to departing to Calar Alto Observatory and another one to the Almeria Solar Platform. Departure time is 8:30 and arrival back at Granada at 16:00.

BSBF2022 is hosted by Angela Lamont, a science & technology presenter who has worked with many of the Big Science organisations individually, as well  being the facilitator for BSBF2018 in Copenhagen. Angela, we are thrilled to have you with us!

Please check out the trailer for the congress in which Angela summarises the congress content and what it will deliver to you as a company interested in working in the Big Science market. The trailer is available here.

PERIIA, the Pan-European Research Infrastructure ILO Association, celebrates its 3rd General Assembly in the context of the Big Science Business Forum in Granada, Spain. All national ILOs are invited to to participate actively at the 3rd PERIIA General Assembly aimed at:

• Making connections among ILOs from different countries and working with different BSOs.
• Sharing experience and different practices among national ILOs, gaining a common spirit/understanding of the common work/functions for improving international collaborations.
• Updating ILOs on the work done so far by PERIIA Network
• Discussing proposals, agreeing on future activities and elect members for the next two years of PERIIA Network Board.

Practical information:

• Date and Time: Tuesday 4 October 2022, 14h00 – 16h00

[27-July]

We announce a new parallel session (D3) which will take place on 6 October, 16:30-18:00, dedicated to career opportunities and pathways in the Big Science market. Primarily oriented towards graduate students, in the session representatives from CERN, ESA, F4E and industry will provide an overview of their current career opportunities at a technical level and their demands on staff size and challenging qualifications in the years to come, while also addressing the higher education perspective and also touching on the Big Science career pathways in industry. A set of recommendations and learned lessons for people seeking a recruitment in the Big Science market will be given.

Big Science organisations manage hugely complex projects that involve the construction, upgrade and operation of breakthrough research facilities, in collaboration with industry. This entails the need for these organisations and industry to hire specialised human resources in different domains of engineering, often with a scientific background.  These professionals provide the backbone for the success of these highly ambitious projects.

The search for these technical human resources is a challenging endeavour, which capitalises on specific training programmes and degrees in the areas of particle physics, fusion and astronomy. Previous experience in industry or national laboratories is often required, although some Big Science facilities also offer opportunities for entry-level professionals.

In the frame of BSBF 2022 – Big Science Business Forum, ENRIITC is organising an event on 04^th October 2022. As part of this event, ENRIITC in collaboration with CERIC-ERIC, will be organizing training sessions focused on ‘Increasing Research Infrastructures’ visibility and potential towards Industry’.

It will bring together Industrial Liaison and Contact Officers (ILOs/ICOs) of European Research Infrastructures and Industry representatives to exchange experiences, best practices and knowledge on the topic. The event will be also a networking opportunity to strengthen the collaboration between the two parties.

The day will be split into 3 main phases:

1. Training and Workshop for ICOs and ILOs
2. The ENRIITC Networking Conference;
3. ILOs and ICOS training to strengthen the collaboration of the networks.

For more information, contact enriitc@esss.se and ilo@ceric-eric.eu.

[13-Jun]

Registration is open to the technology transfer track sessions. These sessions are configured as a number of closed meetings in which each technology transfer proposer will meet with third parties who would like to know more about the developed technology with a view into incorporating it into their portfolio or transferring the technology to other markets. All BSBF delegates are welcome to join these meeting, prior registration.
