Transnational Conference Liaison report • A survey of NPSS ‘Transnational’ Conferences’ • Sponsored • Technically co-sponsored Patrick Le Dû (CEA and IN2P3/CNRS) p.ledu@ipnl.in2p3.fr Monterey ADCOM
RTC (CANPS) RT10 abstracts per country • This conference was ‘stabilized’ since 2005 • Regular cycle of Europe, North America and now Asia • Many candidates for future ‘overseas sites’ : Bologna (Italy),Nara/Kyoto/Osaka (Japan) Monterey ADCOM
ICALEPCS • Technically co-sponsored (CANPS) since many years (2001?) • Topics complementary to RTC • more accelerator and machine control system oriented vs experiments and components for RTC • A lot of common interest from RTC and ICALEPCS participants to assist to both conferences but --> • Biennial (2009-2011) the same year as RTC ! • CANPS decides in 2008 to break this parallelism --> RT10 in Lisbon • TWO NPSS members in their International Scientific Advisory Committee (ISAC) • 2009 (Kobe) : Peter Clout & Dick Kouzes • 2011 (Grenoble) : Peter Clout & Patrick Le Dû • No proceedings but selected papers in TNS issue • Objective : close the relationship between RTC and ICALEPCS for our mutual benefit --> July Versailles meeting Monterey ADCOM
ANIMMA 2009 • First conference on Advancements in Nuclear Instrumentation Measurement Methods and their Applications • A great ‘unexpected’ success with up to 400 participants of 35 countries. there was 90 oral presentations and more than 153 posters presented during the three days of the conference. • New interdisciplinary community on instrumentation • nuclear power, fusion, plasma --> NOT in compettion with NSS! • This conference was technically co-sponsored by NPSS • NPSS team:J.Leray & R.Kouzes(Steering Com.) ,Ch. Ilgner (TNS editor in chief),D.Merelli & P. Le Dû (Proceedings) • Proceedings are produced under IEEE Xplore and selected papers are under review for publication in special issues of TNS andin TPS regular issue • Some delay in the publications due to the learning process of managing a so large multidisciplinary conference with a completely new community not very familiar with the IEEE publication standards ---> NPSS ’coaches ’ help. Monterey ADCOM
ANIMMA 2011 • It was decided at the end the 2009 conference that the next ANIMMA will be organized under the chaimanship of Prof. Michel Giot from SCK, in GENT, BELGIUM in MAY 2011. • This SCK group got experience of organizing RADECS in Bruges in 2009 • The conference organization is moving to a ‘ANIMMA Association’ which as been incorporated in France (like RADECS) • The Steering Committee would like, after this succesfull learning process to be again technically co-sponsored by IEEE/NPSS. • MOTION: The Transnational Committee moves that IEEE NPSS technically cosponsor the 2011 ANIMMA Conference to be held in Belgium in 2011. The Transnational Committee will work with ANIMMA management and IEEE to develop an appropriate MOU to define IEEE NPSS's involvement and support, and to ensure that IEEE standards are met."

SCINTInorganic scintillator and their application • Technically co-sponsored ( RITC) since 2007 • Bi-annual • 2007 : Ukraine • 2009 : Jeju (Korea) • 2011 : Germany • A lot of NPSS senior members in their International Scientific Committee • Craig, Bill, Chuck …. • And many others : P. Lecoq, …. • No proceedings but selected papers in a special issue of TNS Monterey ADCOM
RADECS • ‘Oldest’ Technically co-sponsored NPSS conference by REC • Was somekind of model for many ‘ overseas’ conferences • Organized by a strong ‘France, Belgium’ corsortium: • --> RADECS association (VAT & taxes free) • A permanent liaison with ADCOM (Hal) • Yearly event --> One ‘big’ and one ‘workshop’/2y. cycle • 2010 (small) : Lagenfeld (Austria) • 2011 (large) : Sevilla ( Spain) • Selected papers published in TNS Monterey ADCOM
Summary & Conclusions • Increasing number NPSS Transnational events • Not anymore a learning process • Some are becoming ‘routine’ like RTC & NSS-MIC • Cannot be a copy-past of North American conference • Local strong support team for the logistics is fundamental • Technically co-sponsored are growing too • But some ‘coaching’ and very close contact with NPSS is necessary • From my experiences (NSS-MIC, RTC, ANIMMA ..) • Some simple ‘guidelines’ would help the local organizors (MOU, IEEE forms … publications) and avoid misunderstanding and delays ….
