Panel Discussion

Big Science and Society

Abstract

(Lund will soon get two very big scientific infrastructures, ESS and MAX IV. Not as big as CERN, but still. Is there anything we in Lund can learn from CERN? What are the similarities and differences when it comes to the science and the infrastructure? How can one gain acceptance for such expensive projects in society, among politicians and the general public?)

Members of the panel are besides the main speakers Brian Cox, Lyn Evans and Peter Jenni:

Mikael Eriksson, Machine Director for MAX IV Laboratory
James Yeck, CEO for European Spallation Source
