SMARTHEP Kick-off meeting

3 May 2017, 08:00 → 5 May 2017, 18:00 Europe/Stockholm

H422 (conference room, not for teaching) (Fysiska institutionen-Physics Department)

The SMARTHEP kick-off meeting connects interested partners from both academia and industry, in order to launch common projects in the framework of the EU Innovative Training Networks. The first day of the workshop will be dedicated to explaining our research to other players, academic and not, through pitch talks and brainstorming that will facilitate the knowledge transfer between academia and industry and the collaboration on common projects. The second part of this workshop will be dedicated to reviewing the state of the art of real-time analyses in high energy physics, and discuss future directions and collaborations within academia. This project will enable a more effective data collection and data analysis, both in High Energy Physics and in commercial applications. Examples include data analysis in image capturing devices, risk assessment in medical insurance provision and smart cities/internet of things applications. This workshop is supported by the Grace and Philip Sandbloms fond. Vidyo link: https://vidyoportal.cern.ch/join/zFgstxGzDzi2

11:00 Discussion with Alexandros Sopasakis CEO of Ximantis (http://ximantis.com)

Thursday, 4 May

09:00 → 12:30 Academic partners: pitch talks and brainstorming

Every researcher is invited to give a 10' talk on their research, about their institute/group/experiment's involvement in real-time analysis and machine learning. We will then have 5' of questions after each talk, and 15'-20' of wrap-up after the end of the talks. The goal of this session is to get to know each other's research interests and how they map to our topics. Optionally, each researcher can think of one or two possible PhD topics that they would be interested in developing, towards their inclusion in the ETN application.

12:00 Discussion

12:30 → 13:30 Lunch break

13:30 → 15:00 Own work/breakout discussion time

15:00 → 16:30 Discussion of SMARTHEP in the context of an ETN application

In this session, we will discuss the idea of the SMARTHEP project towards an ETN application. Ideally, the goal of this discussion is to have a storyline for the research goals part of such a proposal:
1) what are the research (and industry) problems we are tackling with this application
2) why should we solve this problem using machine learning and real-time analyses
3) how do we intend to proceed with the training of students towards this

16:30 → 17:00 Fika break

17:00 → 18:00 Discussion on industrial partners and secondments

The framework of the European Training Network foresees collaborations between institutes through secondments/training periods of the PhD students in an institute or an industrial organization that is not the one they're doing their PhD in.
In this session, we will discuss:
1) how to make student mobility happen between academic partners, as well as PhD projects that have connections between institutes
2) possible industrial partners, and what we would like from them (training, hosting a PhD project...)

The aim of the session is to produce a list of PhD project ideas with links between institutes, a list of possible partner companies as well as their role in SMARTHEP.

19:00 → 21:00 Dinner

Friday, 5 May

09:00 → 12:00 Discussion of application and division of tasks

In this session, we will discuss more in detail how to get to a complete ETN application. We will start with an introduction from Lund University Research Services on the H2020 framework for this application, and we will proceed by starting on a canvas application with the research bullet points from the day before. The idea is to come out of this morning session with an outline, volunteers for sections and an idea of the timescales / when the next meeting will be.

09:00 Presentation of ETN H2020 program

Speaker: Teresia Rindefjäll
