CERN / ERF / ESS Workshop II
"Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures"
CERN, 23-25 October 2013
Volatile energy costs, a tight budget climate and increasing environmental concerns are all inciting large-scale research facilities across the globe to devise mid- and long-term strategies for sustainable developments at their research infrastructures, including the aim for reliable, affordable and carbon-neutral energy supplies.
This workshop will bring together international sustainability experts, stakeholders and representatives from research facilities and future research infrastructure projects all over the world in order to identify the challenges, best practices and policies to develop and implement sustainable solutions at research infrastructures. This includes the increase of energy efficiencies, energy system optimizations, storage and savings, implementation and management issues as well as the review of challenges represented by potential future technological solutions and the tools for effective collaboration.
Overlook
Energy Management at Research Infrastructures
In this session representatives from various research laboratories from Europe, Americas and Asia are asked to present in overview talks their strategies, goals and institutional practice to advance environmental sustainability at their research facilities and research campus with particular emphasis on energy savings and energy efficiency measures.
Energy Efficiency, Energy Recovery and Energy Quality
Practical examples in different domains: computer centre, buildings, accelerators operation, waste energy...
Green Technologies developed at Research Infrastructures
What are the technologies which are developed a RI and can be transferred in the domain of energy saving and renewable energy

Organising Institutions
 |
The European Spallation Source is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. The European Spallation Source is a pan-European project with 13 European nations as members including the host nations Sweden and Denmark.. |
 |
The ERF-AISBL Association has the not-for-profit purpose to promote the cooperation and the projects between european-level research infrastructures which are open, at international level, to external researchers. These infrastructures include national infrastructures as wel as european networks and consortia of research infrastructures. |
