Auto- organize the INFN accelerator community into national clusters that operate in a cohesive way, to create knowledge cluster, exchange information in a structured way and ultimately operate as a single large laboratory with greater international significance than groups of individuals laboratories / sections.
- Be already organized and therefore facilitate participation in EU-funded or national / regional R&D projects
- Be already organized and therefore facilitate participation in the development and construction of research infrastructures
- Establish structured relationships both at the level of INFN researchers / technologists / technicians (and other entities) and with industry
Definition of the Network
A network is an extended laboratory of similar skills or functions in the various sectors of INFN accelerators.
Following the organization of the skills mapping- we have distinguished two types of networks:
Competence networks (thematic) (e.g. superconductivity magnets and RF, high gradient and ancillary instrumentation, sources, diagnostics, vacuum) specific: with many applications
Functional networks (e.g. applications, medicine, materials, energy), with many transversal technologies (simulations, theory, RF, magnets, vacuum, ..)
