Technology and Innovation Group

The EPS Technology and Innovation Group (TIG) was formed in 1988. It connects individual and associate EPS members as well as laboratories and other institutions interested in the use of technology as used in scientific research and related innovations resulting in applications.

Objectives:

To encourage contacts between EPS members and specialists in the domain of scientific (physics) instrumentation, technology and related innovation.
To stimulate international co-operation and exchange of information.
To contribute, in close connection with other EPS Groups and Divisions, to industrial and EU-policies supporting the goals of EPS.

TIG aims at active collaboration with Associate Members, inviting them to co-host Technology, Innovation and Policy related workshops. Currently, EPS is working on a global approach to engage AMs across all of its Divisions and Groups. TIG will thus engage itself with initiatives cutting across EPS-wide.

Event Archives

4th EPS TIGS Hands-on Event for Science, Technology, and Interfaces organized on 13 – 15 October, 2024 at CERN, Geneva.
3rd EPS TIGS Hands-on Event for Science, Technology, and Interfaces organized on 7 – 9 July at Montenegro.
2nd EPS TIG Hands-on Event for Science, Technology and Interfaces was organized on 30 Sept – 2 Oct, 2022 in the «IdeaSquare» building at CERN thanks to the contribution of Stefan Lubsky and Markus Nordberg. Its purpose was to offer young physicists and engineers new hands-on skills in hardware, software and related interfaces. The first such event took place in 2019 but in 2020 and 2021 the events were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Visit to the fusion reactor ITER on 23 November 2021 organized by the TIG. Eighteen physicists registered for the visit of the construction site close to Cadarache in Southern France, with a large representation of the Swiss Physical Society (SPS).
- A report was published in the e-EPS news of Dec. 2021
- An article appeared in the SPS communications, vol. 66

1st EPS TIG Hands-on Event for Science, Technology and Interfaces organized on 4-6 October 2019 in the «IdeaSquare» building at CERN with 25 MSc and PhD students.
