A. WINTER SCHOOL:
“MULTIMODAL X-RAY IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUES FOR SECURITY APPLICATIONS”
Winter School course description:
This course describes the X-ray techniques that are currently used in the baggage screening equipment for threats detection in Security applications, a domain where nowadays the security companies are highly looking for skilled scientists. The course begins with the basic principles used in X-Ray baggage scanners: X-ray generation and emitted radiation spectrum, interaction of X-ray with matter and continue with radiation shielding and protection against radiation. The next parts contain presentation of various X-Ray techniques implemented in baggage screeners, such as: dual-energy, multi-energy, dual-view, diffraction pattern detection, ending with the most advanced of them, the 2D & 3D X-ray Tomography. A special attention and detailed presentation will be given to materials identification performances for each type of X-Ray screening techniques. The final part will focus on scanning and interaction data simulation for developing preliminary tomography tests by using GEANT4 software package from CERN. For introducing similar applications, an X-ray microtomography for materials physics properties analysis is presented followed by practical and interactive experiments offered to students in two X-ray laboratories equipped with various imaging systems for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and materials identification.

B. WORKSHOP:
” HOW TO BUILD AND RUN YOUR OWN BUSINESS”
|
Course description |
The course covers the topics regarding the new knowledge and ideas conversion into products and services, market specific demands analysis, basic finance requirement and small company management issues. The aim is to additionally train the new generation of early-stage researchers with entrepreneurial and market oriented skills, guiding them in properly presenting and developing their work, for increasing their economic and social benefit. The course will present also the basic rules necessary for stimulating collaboration with other researchers, private companies and investors, with guides about how to write a project proposal and a new business development, for increasing the ESRs employability.
|
|
Learning objectives |
Technical ideas analysis and their selection Business plan sketch, plan B, plan C…. Market opportunities analysis Costs/incomes evaluation Financial/technical support, collaboration Writing R&D project proposals, H2020 SME’s surviving rules |
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The ESRs are kindly requested to analyse their ideas and opportunities for building a private business plan and to come with 3-4 slides with a brief description of it at workshop for presentation. Multiple solutions/ideas presentation will be very much appreciated. Those opportunities will be interactively discussed, evaluated and recommendation will be given during the workshop.
