      From particle physics to medicine

      From particle physics to medicine As part of the celebrations for CERN’s 70th anniversary, this event offers a unique opportunity to explore the various applications of particle physics instruments and tools in hospitals and medical research. Medical doctors, biologists and physicists will guide you on a captivating journey, providing insights into the future of therapy and imaging.  The event will cover three areas in which particle physics is contributing to the development of new medical technologies:  “Accelerators to treat cancer” From radiotherapy for cancer treatment to radiopharmaceuticals,: tens of thousands of particle accelerators are used in medicine. New therapies have been made possible by the innovative technologies developed for frontier instruments, like the Large Hadron Collider. “Looking inside the human body”Since the discovery of X-rays, medical imaging and physics have advanced hand in hand. Sophisticated particle detectors, which are at the heart of modern imaging devices, enable doctors to provide early and accurate diagnosis of many diseases. “The digital health revolution” Machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies play a crucial role in particle physics, which is rapidly embracing these tools to advance research. Collaborations with medical doctors, epidemiologists and researchers are leading to game-changing developments that help to preserve or improve our health. The event, bringing together renowned specialists, will be introduced by Mike Lamont, CERN Director for Accelerators and Technology, and moderated by Professor Antoine Geissbuhler, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva, Director of Teaching and Research and Head of the Division of e-Health and Telemedicine, HUG.

Des médecins, des biologistes et des physiciens vous guideront au cours de cette passionnante exploration, offrant un aperçu de l’avenir des soins de santé et de l’imagerie.  Cet événement abordera trois domaines au sein desquels la physique des particules contribue au développement de nouvelles technologies médicales :  « Traiter le cancer grâce à des accélérateurs » De la radiothérapie pour traiter le cancer aux produits radiopharmaceutiques, des dizaines de milliers d’accélérateurs de particules sont utilisés en médecine. De nouveaux traitements ont été rendus possibles grâce aux technologies innovantes développées pour des instruments de pointe, tels que le Grand collisionneur de hadrons. « Examiner l’intérieur du corps humain »Depuis la découverte des rayons X, l’imagerie médicale et la physique ont progressé en parallèle. Des détecteurs de particules sophistiqués, qui sont au cœur des dispositifs d’imagerie moderne, permettent aux médecins de poser des diagnostics précoces et précis sur de nombreuses maladies.  La révolution numérique en matière de santé » L’apprentissage automatique et l’intelligence artificielle jouent un rôle crucial en physique des particules, qui intègre rapidement ces outils pour faire avancer la recherche. Des collaborations avec des médecins, des épidémiologistes et des chercheurs conduisent à des avancées décisives pour la préservation ou l’amélioration de la santé de chacun. Cet événement, rassemblant d’illustres spécialistes, sera animé par le professeur Antoine Geissbuhler, doyen de la faculté de médecine de Genève, directeur de l’enseignement et de la recherche et médecin-chef du service de cybersanté et télémédecine aux HUG.

      CERN: An extraordinary human endeavour

      CERN: An extraordinary human endeavour  CERN is a pioneer in making science, technology and know-how freely available to the world. Knowledge sharing – one of the core values enshrined in CERN’s founding convention – underpins its mission to support open science.  A brilliant example of this is the World Wide Web, developed at CERN for the benefit of society at large. At this event, leading scientists and experts will explore the extraordinary significance of international collaboration and open science in advancing scientific knowledge. They will also trace the evolution of the Web, discuss the imperative of democratisation of information and technology, and explore the emerging frontiers in digital technologies and AI. Join us for this fourth public event, held in collaboration with the CineGlobe festival , celebrating the Laboratory’s 70th anniversary and the CERN & Society Foundation’s 10th anniversary.  Event highlights: Science for All Advanced Particle Accelerators –  Panel discussion (in English with French simultaneous interpretation): join leading scientists and experts to explore the significance of international collaboration and open and inclusive science in advancing scientific knowledge.

Modérateur : Frédéric Donck Intervenants : •    Ana Godinho – chef du groupe Éducation, communication et activités grand public du CERN ; •    Ana Persic – spécialiste du programme de l’UNESCO pour les politiques en matière de technologie et d’innovation scientifiques et de science ouverte ;•    Javier Serrano – responsable de l’initiative du CERN sur le matériel libre, président du Comité de la collaboration White Rabbit ;•    Michel Spiro – directeur de recherche émérite au CEA, président de l’IUPAP et président du Conseil de Fondation de la Fondation CERN & Société For Everyone (Pour tous) – Projection d’un documentaire (en anglais avec sous-titres en français) : En 1989, le CERN, le plus grand laboratoire de physique du monde, stockait ses informations foisonnantes sur un grand nombre d’ordinateurs incompatibles entre eux. Tim Berners-Lee imagina une structure unificatrice permettant de relier entre elles les informations disséminées sur ces différents ordinateurs : c’est ce qui conduira, en 1991, à la naissance du World Wide Web. Le documentaire For Everyone (Pour tous) retrace les origines et l’impact du web, et fait le lien avec la seconde table ronde. En avant vers l’avenir : Le Web et au-delà Les innovations quantiques – Table ronde (en anglais avec interprétation simultanée en français) : Venez assister à une table ronde passionnante, lors de laquelle Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventeur du Web, cofondateur et chef de la technologie d’Inrupt, ainsi que d’autres spécialistes de premier plan discuteront de l’évolution du Web, de la démocratisation de la technologie et de l’émergence de nouvelles frontières relatives aux technologies numériques et à l’intelligence artificielle.  Modérateur : Frédéric Donck Intervenants : •    Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventeur du Web ; cofondateur et chef de la technologie d’Inrupt•    Raf Buyle, chef de l’innovation chez Athumi•    Nadia Carlsten, responsable des produits chez SandboxAQ •    Andy Yen, fondateur et directeur général de Proton Avec la participation de Fabiola Gianotti, directrice générale du CERN  Cliquez ici pour découvrir la biographie des intervenants.  Informations pratiques  •    Date et horaire : ouverture des portes à 16 h 30, pour une soirée pleine d’inspiration.•    Lieu : Auditorium Sergio Marchionne, Campus du Portail de la science du CERN•    Entrée : gratuite ; inscription obligatoire si vous souhaitez assister en personne à l’événement.

      From cosmic rays to particle accelerators: 100 years of César Lattes, 90 years of University of São Paulo and 70 years of CERN

      The year of 2024 is very special for Brazilian physics since it celebrates the centenary of César Lattes, one of the responsibles for the discovery of the meson pi, the 90 years of University of São Paulo, where Lattes got his physics degree, and the association of Brazil to CERN, exactly when the laboratory celebrates its 70th anniversary. The proposal of the Symposium is to gather researchers in high energies​ physics and the general public interested in the subject to look at the past in order to recognize achievements and thus plan the future. The first day of the event will be dedicated to discussions of general interest, especially the celebration of the 100th anniversary of César Lattes, a physicist formed in the early days of the University of São Paulo and which brings us to the celebration of its 90 years. This day will also feature discussions that include the future of high energy physics in Brazil and the recent association of the country to CERN. In the second and third days in the morning there is a greater focus on the history of high energy physics in Brazil, again celebrating the contributions of César Lattes and CERN’s 70th anniversary. In the afternoon of these days, there will be meetings in smaller groups, organized by projects, and workshops for teachers, in which they will seek to discuss how to present the themes of the Symposium for High School Students. The language of the event will be Portuguese and its main page can be found at: https://indico.ifsc.usp.br/e/lattes100anos
