  13. PARTICIPATING GROUPS Managing Institution: CSIC (IFIC)

  14. OBJECTIVES • Creation of the National Center for Particle, Astroparticle and Nuclear Physics • Definition of strategies and priority lines. Coordination of the Spanish participation in large international projects • Representation of the Spanish physics community • Human resources (technicians, postdocs, young scientists, …) • Development of common R&D activities • Technology transfer • Scientific training • Outreach

  15. SHORT-TERM ACTIONS • Strategic • SA1: LHC Physics • SA2: Experiments in Canfranc & Astroparticles • SA3: FAIR R&D • SA4: Future Factories (ILC, nF, SuperB, …) • Horizontal • HA1: R&D and training of personnel in accelerators • HA2: Data processing & numerical simulations • HA3: Advanced TechnologyTransfer • HA4: Scientific Training • HA5: Outreach
