CERN / ERF / ESS Workshop V
"Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures"
Paul Scherrer Institut, 28-29 Novemeber 2019
Scarcity of resources, along with rising energy costs and climate change are ever growing concerns that need to be considered for the next generation of large-scale research infrastructures. Indeed, the much increased performance of proposed new facilities often comes together with anticipated increased power consumption. Mid- and long-term strategies have to be devised for sustainable developments at 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.
The Paul Scherrer Institut, in collaboration with CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research), ERF (The European Association of National Research Facilities), ESS (The European Spallation Source), and ARIES (The Accelerator Research and Innovation for European Science and Society), will host on 28-29 November 2019, the fifth Workshop on Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures Facilities.

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. |
 |
At CERN, our work helps to uncover what the universe is made of and how it works. We do this by providing a unique range of particle accelerator facilities to researchers, to advance the boundaries of human knowledge. |
 |
The ARIES, is an Integrating Activity project which aims to develop European particle accelerator infrastructures, co-funded under the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme. |
 |
The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), is the largest research centre for natural and engineering sciences in Switzerland, conducting cutting-edge research in three main areas: matter and materials, energy and environment, and human health. PSI develops, builds and operates complex, large research facilities both for in-house research, as well as for national and international access for users from academia and industry. |
