De 9e International Particle Accelerator Conference IPAC 2018 Vancouver
29-04-2018 - 04-05-2018
Dit jaar is Nederland weer vertegenwoordigd met een stand op de IPAC in Vancouver Canada. Deze keer hebben we een gezamenlijke stand met de Deense ILO’s georganiseerd onder de kop: ‘Dutch&Danish Big Science Industry and BrightnESS’. De financiering van de stand is geregeld dankzij het Europese BrightnESS project. De International Particle Accelerator Conference wordt gehouden van 29 april t/m 4 mei 2018. Op zondag 29 april was de stand al aardig opgebouwd.
De IPAC is een jaarlijks terugkerende gebeurtenis die telkens in een ander werelddeel wordt gehouden en is voortgekomen uit de samenwerking van drie PAC's die elk in hun eigen werelddeel hadden.

1500 versnellerfysici en -ingenieurs uit alle hoeken van de wereld zijn een week lang neergestreken in Vancouver. Enkele daarvan ziet u op bovenstaande foto. Meer informatie kunt u op de officiële IPAC18 website vinden.
Woensdag was er een Industry Session met ook Nikolaj Zangenberg in het panel.

Industry Session
Title: Moving from Lab to Market: Global Models of Knowledge Translation and Commercialization in the Particle Accelerator Community
Date and Time: Wednesday May 2, 2018 from 14:00-15:30
Panel Abstract: Moving innovation from the laboratory to the market is key to our long-term growth and prosperity. There are a number of organizations from regions around the globe – each with their own unique approach to fostering commercialization – enjoying successes in this area.
This panel discussion will bring together a group of leaders from high profile organizations from around the world who will talk about how they have moved innovation out of the lab and into industry. We will look at case studies and discuss the challenges, future opportunities and valuable lessons learned in advancing technologies from research to commercialization. The discussion will demonstrate that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for innovation, but rather a mosaic of models, which can provide a spectrum of opportunities to advance technologies into innovations that make an impact in the global community.
Moderator:
- Kathryn Hayashi, President & CEO, TRIUMF Innovations Inc.
Panelists:
- Alberto Degiovanni, Group Leader, Physics-Deputy Technical Director, ADAM SA
- Morgan Dehnel, Chief Science & Innovations Officer, Buckley Systems Ltd; Founder D-Pace Inc.
- Michelle Shinn, Program Manager Industrial Concepts- Nuclear Physics, US Department of Energy
- Nikolaj Zangenberg, Director Metal & Surface Technology Materials, Danish Technical Institute

The 15th International Conference on Space Optics (ICSO 2024) took place from 21-25 October 2024 in Antibes, France, bringing together experts from around the world to explore advancements in optical, optoelectronic, and photonic technologies for space applications. Co-organized by ESA and CNES, the conference provided a dynamic platform for exchanging knowledge on research, development, qualification, and flight experience of optical technologies used in space missions.
The Space Tech Expo Europe, taking place in Bremen from 19-21 November 2024, is Europe’s largest B2B space industry event, bringing together over 700 exhibitors and 8000 industry professionals. Alongside a dynamic program of conferences and pre-arranged B2B meetings, it offers a platform for showcasing innovations in satellite technology, launch systems, and cutting-edge in-orbit solutions.
The NOVA 25 Symposium, celebrating 25 years of the Netherlands Research School for Astronomy (NOVA), took place on 12-13 December 2024 at the World Forum in The Hague. The two-day event highlighted NOVA’s achievements in astronomy, including science breakthroughs, advanced instrumentation, and industry collaborations. Modern day astronomy is all about collaboration, within The Netherlands (NOVA), within Europe (European Southern Observatory ESO, with the Very Large Telescope and Extremely Large Telescope), and globally (NASA-ESA Space Observatories like James Webb and Habitable Worlds Observatory). The Netherlands is a champion in such collaborations.
