Meeting on linear accelerators in Belgrade in October

BELGRADE - An international meeting on hight energy linear accelerators will be held in Belgrade October 6-10, and Deputy Mayor Andreja Mladenovic has stressed that it is a great recognition for the city, science and scientists in Serbia.

Mladenovic received a delegation of LCWS 14 (International Linear Collider) and officials of the Belgrade Institute of Nuclear Science Vinca.

Lucy Linsen from CERN and professor Wolfgang Lochman from Germany attended the meeting.

Mladenovic thanked the Serbian scientific community and the institute Vinca for helping Belgrade become the host of such an important science meeting.

Belgrade will do everything to ensure the meeting goes well, he noted, adding that the public in Serbia was interested in the research done in CERN.

Linsen said the focus should be on the future and new dscoveries, while that already known should be used in the best way.

CERN is working with all the relevant institutions in the world, including the Vinca, and counts on any contribution those institutions can bring, she stressed.

She thanked the Vinca institute on work in accelerator development, underscoring that the October meeting was in good hands, while Lochman stated that Vinca was equal with other such institutes around the world.

The Vinca institute got the opportunity to organise the congress on behalf of the European countries, continuing the series meetings held in Beijing, Granada, Arlington and Tokio.

LCWS is an annual conference that brings together around 400 top physicists from the world who are involved in research concerning linear colliders and high energy physics.
