The management of one of the largest Large Research Infrastructures (LRI) currently being built in Europe, the FAIR accelerator laboratory, spent two hectic days in the Czech Republic on November 24 and 25, 2022.
Scientific director Prof. Paolo Giubellino and technical director Mr. Jörg Blaurock came at the invitation of the FAIR-CZ project, which covers the Czech contribution to building FAIR.
On the first day, there was a meeting with several dozen students and employees of the FNSPE CTU in Prague in its hall, where they were welcomed by the vice-dean of the FNSPE Ass. Prof. Jan Čepila, Dr. Andrej Kugler, head of the FAIR-CZ project, and Dr. Petr Chaloupka, head of the FAIR-CZ group at FNSPE. Prof. P. Giubellino and Mr. J. Blaurock presented the project as a whole, Dr. Pradeep Gosh spoke about internship opportunities for students and researchers from the Czech Republic at FAIR thanks to the GET_INvolved program.
On the second day, a meeting of the international committee (SAC) of the FAIR-CZ II project, which is the currently ongoing Czech contribution to the construction of the FAIR infrastructure, was held in Villa Lanna in Prague's Dejvice quater. SAC members Prof. James Rittman and Prof. Joachim Stroth were also present here. J. Blaurock and P. Gosh used their free time to discuss the possibilities of supplying high-tech equipment from the Czech Republic to FAIR. Both visited the Řež research area, first the workshops of the Řež Research Center (CVŘ), where they met one of the managers of the CVŘ Ing. Petr Březina. They also inspected two workplaces in the accelerator area of the NPI: the Tandetron Laboratory and the Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Laboratory with the MILEA facility. They ended their trip with a visit to the Vakuum Praha company.
