Follow up on SFS memberships
Some partikeldagarna speakers / attendants haven’t paid yearly fee to SFS. Organizers & Chair have sent a few Nice Emails to them, it would be nice if Board members gently reminded those from their institute to pay the fee as well (from PhD level above, reduced fee for students – Master’s students could be encouraged). SFS is what makes this Board possible!
Document to be shared in a CERNBox with a password in January.
Follow up from partikeldagarna
Outreach session
Jonas Strandberg / Christian Ohm proposed a resource repository, with a collection of resources, to update/add to what is available on the IPPOG website. Discuss how to make this happen after the break, maybe on our Section webpage.
VR session
To follow up and make sure discussion proceeds in the direction of the report, Caterina will “reconstruct the minutes” and all together we can make a very short report whitepaper. Then we send it to the report authors/panelists, then to VR and we see. Discuss this at the January meeting.
Public/private minutes (& “bylaws” / procedures?)
Following tradition, our minutes have become public on indico agendas (unless there are names involved e.g. Partikeldagarna speakers). No objections for now.
Some recent discussions showed that it would be better to have some procedures written down for e.g. ECFA elections. We will write “how we did this” rather than “how it will be done”.
This will help keeping institutional memory of representatives, and a public list on the website (SFS or new one) of the organization where Sweden has representatives. In January we will discuss this list and the names (this may require some crowdsourcing).
Promotion of CERN internships
Email by Anna Cook ( CERN – Talent Acquisition ) to advertise summer internships at CERN online → has been forwarded to all institutes for further advertisement.
SFS board website
This requires fixing, especially the sidebar. Caterina will inquire whether we can have our own “spin-off” site with more distributed access rights and simpler interface (another Wordpress site most likely).
Article for Fysversamfundet
We have been asked for an article to appear in the first 2021 number of Fysikaktuellt. Elin will think about writing a 1-page about fully online partikeldagarna.
