Laser-plasma technology, additive manufacturing, high-temperature superconductors and other innovations have strong potential to reduce the footprint of particle accelerators.

Held in Paris, the penultimate annual meeting of the I.FAST project included lively discussions on cryogenics, additive manufacturing, and sustainability.

After two months at Cosylab, Luca Garolfi, from CERN, tells us about the I.FAST industry-academia exchange programme.

For the second time, the I.FAST yearly student challenge explored environmental and societal applications of accelerator technology.

Held in Trieste, Italy, the second annual meeting of the I.FAST project hosted passionate discussion about the progress in machine learning and in superconducting materials.

With a funding of up to 200 kEUR each, the projects will contribute to improve the sustainability of particle accelerator technologies.

The first additive manufacturing of a critical accelerator component paves the way toward more affordable and versatile particle accelerators.

The programme offers the opportunity for a Company to send an engineer or technician for one or several visits to one of the I.FAST Laboratories and for a I.FAST Laboratory to send a scientist, engineer or technician to a Company for one or several visits

As many as four oral presentations stemming from I.FAST innovative activities were given at this prestigious particle accelerator conference
