of young researchers Enhance public-private research collaboration
Promote science Promote women in science Disseminate the results in
the private & public sector Nb of women in science even more
insufficient Targeted outreach activites by female students to
communicate their enthusiasm in science to young girls Nb of
students enrolled in science insufficient Effective program of
outreach activities targeting different layers of society Research
career not attractive Students with a unique portfolio of technical
& transferable skills Multi-disciplinary training Substantial
network of colleagues & partners Research collaboration between
public & private sectors mandatory for the development of
accelerators Knowledge and Transfer (KT) in both directions
Strengthening the network via workshops & common subjects Final
achievement of PACMAN objectives determinant for the next colliders
Open access to the results Dissemination through papers, journals,
workshops New KT portfolio available All disciplines studied in
PACMAN are easily transposable in industry Research subjects
sometimes far away from Industry issues
