Satellite Meeting
Closed session
The Accelerator Industry Permanent Forum (AIPF) is a collaborative platform designed to facilitate ongoing interaction and cooperation between the accelerator industry and research institutions that utilize accelerator technologies.
It was established in 2023 by TIARA, the Consortium of European Research Institutions operating Infrastructures with Particle Accelerators and is currently composed by seven representatives of industrial partners, seven representatives of the Accelerator European Centers and Institutions, two Industry Liason Officers and the TIARA coordinator as an ex-officio member.
The forum plays a critical role in maintaining a vibrant and innovative ecosystem around accelerator technologies, which are essential for many scientific and industrial applications
International Union of Pure and Applied Physics IUPAP event “The role of Academia and Industry to inspire the next STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) generation” will take place as a first Big Science Business Forum 2024 (BSBF 2024) satellite event on Tuesday 1 October 2024 in Trieste. The aim is to explore the potential impact of research-industry collaboration to the development of a sustainable society. The topics to be addressed should work as a motivation for future employees in STEM related careers, as well as for future company leaders and other society stakeholders. Two invited talks will discuss the role of Big Science Infrastructures and Industry for innovation and the need to invest in STEM education. A panel discussion will follow on the role of industry and academia to inspire youth for sciences, starting at high school level, as part of the education activities “Youth at STEM for Sustainable Future” Youth@STEM4SF. The event will end with the award ceremony of the best high school students, who participated at the BSBF pre-event for high schools, a flagship activity of IUPAP in connecting physics, industry and education, first international edition of Youth@STEM4SF.
Event will be held in English and is free of charge. Please, register here before 15th of September 2024.
Program and other details could be found on the indico page.
Registration for the workshop does not entitle you to access the other BSBF events.
Area Science Park and Ceric-Eric are organizing an event dedicated to the entire hydrogen production chain: from scientific research to industry to Italian and European institutions. It will be an opportunity to take stock of the main innovations in scientific research and industrial applications, as well as to discuss policies under development.
Challenges concerning the hydrogen supply chain, so important for the development of economically, socially and environmentally sustainable production models, will, therefore, be addressed. Speakers will include many prominent names from the Italian and European scientific scene, the world of industry and international institutions.
The event, scheduled in English, is free of charge.
To attend, you are required to register here.

PERIIA Virtual GA invitation
Personal Invitation
During our 3rd PERIIA General Assembly of Industrial Liaison Officers (ILOs), it was decided that the main objectives for the period 2022-2024 were the following:
- Be a key intermediary between the European supplier business/industry and big science-organisations for matters related to procurement, innovation and tech-transfer opportunities.
- Enhance the big science-organisations’ interaction with business/industry in order to create an integrated and sustainable big science-market.
- Raise awareness and improve access for business/industry (particularly SMEs) entering and acting on the big science-market.
- Provide a forum for the exchange of best practices on how to work as an ILO.
- Enhance the cohesion and functioning of ILO networks at relevant big science-organisations.
- Act as a consultative reference body for other European/International stakeholders.
Following the approval of this PERIIA Working Programme in Granada 2022, in 2023 it was organized the first PERIIA Virtual General Assembly. Now, we would like to take the opportunity to meet in presence at BSBF24– Big Science Business Forum in Trieste (Italy) and invite all national ILOs to participate actively at the 5th PERIIA General Assembly aimed at:
- Making connections among ILOs from different countries and working with different BSOs.
- Sharing experiences and different practices among national ILOs, gaining a common spirit/understanding of the common work/functions for improving international collaborations.
- Updating you on the work done so far by PERIIA Network – the Pan-European Research Infrastructure ILO Association and its Board (www.periia.eu).
- Discussing proposals, agreeing on future activities and elect members for the next two years of PERIIA Network Board.
Closed Meeting
EuPRAXIA is the first European project that develops a dedicated particle accelerator research infrastructure based on novel plasma acceleration concepts driven by innovative laser and linac technologies. It was accepted onto the ESFRI roadmap for strategically important research infrastructures in June 2021 as a European priority.
The EuPRAXIA project aims at the construction of an innovative electron accelerator using laser- and electron-beam–driven plasma wakefield acceleration that offers a significant reduction in size and possible savings in cost over current state-of-the-art radiofrequency (RF)-based accelerators.
Participants of BSBF 2024 are cordially invited to attend this meeting to explore the opportunities to be involved in the development of this important infrastructure. This satellite meeting will offer participants a comprehensive overview of the project's status, insights into potential collaboration opportunities, and information on funding possibilities from both EU and UK government sources. The event will feature an open microphone session for discussions and a networking session to foster connections and partnerships.
We hope to see you at BSBF 2024 and the EuPRAXIA satellite meeting!
For registration and details of event, please see Indico agenda.

Closed meeting
The INPROCAP project will establish a long-term sustainable advisory platform for innovation procurement amongst Industrial Liaison Officers (ILOs) serving the Big Science Organisations. This is a private session aimed at all ILOS, and will be held after the PERIIA meeting.
Agenda
- What is Innovative procurement - Jozef Kubinec, Lawyer. PEDAL
- Ensure more Innovative procurement in BSOs - Esther Davidsen. BigScience.dk
- Training of ILOS. Addressing the difficult challenges of BSOs. Engagement with SMEs. The INPROCAP project
- Domains for Innovative procurement in BSOS and training needs for ILOS.
THE INPROCAP project started on 1st of June 2024
The objective of the INPROCAP project is to build innovation procurement capabilities in BigScience Organisations (BSOs). The project will train the Industrial Liaison Offices (ILOs) to enable them to provide Advisory Services on innovative procurement.
The INPROCAP partners will engage their wider network of start-ups and innovative companies, while ensuring that BSOs are capable and prepared to embark on innovation procurement processes.
Through INPROCAP, innovation procurement will become a standard tool in the BSO toolbox. The potential of SMEs to increase their supply of innovations to the public sector BSOs will be widely disseminated, and the innovation procurement cases developed in INPROCAP will serve as examples for BSOs across the world, contributing to overcome the current dispersion observed in innovation procurement.

Poster Session
On the occasion of the BSBF 2024, we consolidate the criteria for the WBSBF Award, taking into account the lessons learnt from the Award of 2022, mainly regarding the particularities of gender equality and diversity Networks.
The purpose of this Award is to recognize, celebrate, and encourage successful actions by organizations and projects aiming to advance gender equality and diversity in the Big Science – ecosystem. In particular, raise awareness on the gender issue, and increase the proportion of women amongst staff and users of research facilities, across all leadership and decision-making positions in the private and public organizations active in Big Science.
The Posters will be exposed for the full BSBF 2024 event to allow all the participants to BSBF to go through the Posters and exchange experiences with the Authors. The Women in Big Science Award Ceremony will take place at the Big Science Business Forum (BSBF), on Tuesday 1 October 2024 in Trieste.
