Proposed and part of the 2004-2005 programme but so far without identified lecturer.
Retained for 2005-2006 (to be crosschecked with Davide)
28-Jan-2005: Ok with Davide, retain
New topic, proposed for 2005.
15-Feb-2005: Format (several speakers? 5 sessions?) to be consolidated nearer the time.
Proposed in 2002 and 2004.
Marco Silari points out the topic is relevant, certainly in his domain, regardless of the voting indicators; and he has already colleagues in mind who could run the lectures. Furthermore the DG has also expressed recently opinions in the same direction.
Marco and Michel Martini propose to rework together this proposal.
Series run in 2001 and proposed again in 2004.
Stefano Sgobba suggests to reorient the topic to a shorter series (3 lectures) and focusing on CLIC including specific technological issues.
Stefano and Michel Martini propose to rework together this proposal.
3-Feb-2005: tentative abstract by Stefano, to be crosschecked with Michel
15-Feb-2005: Stefano and Michel will draft the tentative topics to be proposed to the lecturers.
Series run in 2002 and proposed again in 2004.
Given the importance and relevance of the topic, hint is to hold it anyhow no matter what the voting indicators would express.
To be discussed with Francois.
Proposed and part of the 2004-2005 programme but so far without identified lecturer.
Michel Goossens proposes to approach Chris Jones to either get him as lecturer, or to get from him names for possible candidates.
15-Feb-2005: C.Jones declines to be the lecturer but offers his contacts at Geneve. Retain the topic for voting but review
New topic, proposed for 2005.
15-Feb-2005: Michel does not have particular contacts. Stefano knows somebody from Lufthansa/HH who could give one of the lectures (in the area of materials). To be discussed in the light of voting results.
Proposed in 2000 and 2004.
WG members propose to merge it with E3 by becoming one (maybe the first) of its lectures. Stefano proposes to address this with Ezio Todesco (proponent of E3).
3-Feb-2005: Ezio proposes to keep it split from E3. Stefano supports this and is confident to find a lecturer through his contacts.
Proposed in 2004.
Ezio proposes to retain this topic in spite of its low voting at last term. Both AT and AB have strategic interest in it so it is suggested to hold it anyway regardless of the voting indicators. The AP working group supports this approach. Stefano Sgobba will address with Ezio the suggestion of the WG to blend E2 as one of the lectures of E3.
Proposed in 2004. Some WG members support retaining this topic in spite of its low score at last term. To be confirmed by Fritz Szoncso that he can continue being the proponent of this topic.
8-Feb-2005: Fritz has identified someone at Philips who could lecture the topic.
Topic proposed in 2003.
New topic, proposed in 2005.
Both Poul K.Frandsen and Michel Martini subscribe the same interest. They propose to prepare together with Stefano the abstract and possible lecturers for this topic.
3-Feb-2005: first draft by Stefano
Two european research centers are at the leading edge in this area: ENEA, which is leading "Archimede",a vast solar array project in Sicily, and CIEMAT, with its Plataforma Solar de Almeria (PSA) ,a major solar array facility at the south of Spain.
Both will become basic poles of the planned "EURO-MED" electricity interconnection, intending to carry solar electricity from North-Africa into the Pan-European network.
We propose to expose through a lecture series the technological issues per se, and how Europe is addressing them.
aka "Very Large Solar Array Platforms - Technology issues"
A combination of both teams could be brought along in order to expose their ideas and plans on the subject. Miguel has contacts at CIEMAT to secure the lecturing of the series. It might be another of the "run anyway" topics
15-Feb-2005: there is also an initiative for a solar array at Vernier/Geneve. Chris Benvenuti/TS is about to retire and will be involved in this activity. To explore as possible contributor.
This series of lectures will address some of the problems that a mission to Mars will have to tackle. Radiation environment in the outer space and how to protect man, the effect of prolonged absence of gravity on the human body, psychological or unforeseen health problems encountered by crew members, technological challenges such as propulsion technology, power generation during the time spent on the Mars surface, surface life support, as well as how the astronauts will leave the surface of Mars and how they will travel back to Earth.
New topic, proposed in 2005.
19-Feb-2005: Marco obtained a yes from his potential speaker, should we select this topic.
This is the most recent step of an intensive development program which sees a number of private companies involved to provide low-cost access to sub-orbital altitudes. Several prototypes of launchers are being tested, intended for both payloads such as small satellites carrying scientific experiments and passengers. This lecture series will present the status of the program and review the technical, financial and legal challenges.
New topic, proposed in 2005.
