In this edition, you can find the right funding call to support your CERN research with our helpful guide to the latest Horizon Europe work programmes.
We also cover the annual meetings of two successful EU projects coordinated by CERN, I.FAST and AIDAInnova, and look at some of the interesting activities carried out within these projects.

| Future detector technologies and industry links on show at AIDAInnova final annual meeting |
|
|
A wide array of developments aimed at advancing detector technologies for particle accelerators were showcased at the final annual meeting of the AIDAInnova project in May.
The meeting, held in Prague at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences between 5 to 8 May, brought together representatives of many of the EU-funded project’s 46 beneficiaries, including several representing companies.

| AIDAinnova course for early-career researchers bridges quantum tech and particle detection |
The two fields of particle detectors and quantum technologies are intrinsically linked in a variety of ways, and yet there are few occasions for those working in these areas, especially early-career researchers, to come together to share knowledge and learn.
That was the purpose of the two-day course on quantum applications that took place on January 23 and 24 at CERN, organised through the EU-funded AIDAinnova project |

| Key technologies to shape the future of accelerators presented at I.FAST annual meeting |
|
Several key developments in particle accelerator science that will shape the future of the field were presented at the recent annual meeting of the I.FAST consortium, a European Union-funded project now into its final year.
The meeting, which took place in Krakow, Poland, between 8 to 11 April, was an opportunity for the project’s partners to present results in several key technological areas, as well as a chance for the industrial and academic partners involved in the project to network and discuss new ideas. |

| Accelerators and competitiveness are focus of EU project workshop for communication experts |
A workshop bringing together communication experts from European particle accelerator facilities provided an opportunity to discuss how a renewed focus on competitiveness in Europe could impact scientific facilities and their communication output.
The accelerator communication and outreach (ACO) workshop took place over two half days in March this year and was held at CERN as part of the EU-funded I.FAST project, which aims to enhance innovation in the particle accelerator community. |
