ATTRACT

Some of Europe’s scientific leaders – including the European Southern Observatory, the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, the European Industrial Research Management Association and CERN– are joining forces together with other organizations such as the European Industrial Research Management Association, Aalto University, ESADE Business School, European, X-Ray Free-Electron Laser and Institut Laue-Langevin to help to to create new scientific and commercial products, companies and jobs.

•    The idea: Take the path-breaking detector and imaging technologies they have developed for their scientific work and, with private and public sector partners, convert them to new commercial use.
•    The outcome: A bigger return on Europe’s scientific investment.

What new path breaking technologies or concepts could be developed and used by 2025 for scientific instrumentation? What potential opportunities could they represent for industry, business and society?
In a quest to answer these questions, and following the successful Trends, Wishes and Dreams (TWD) Symposia in Barcelona and in Strasbourg, the ATTRACT Consortium, in collaboration with ERDIT and University of Peloponnese, organizes this 3rd TWD Symposium to inspire new ideas, to help efforts for finding resources to fund new breakthrough ideas in detection and imaging. In this Symposium, the focus will be on sensor-and imaging related electronics, signal processing, software and system integration.
This site aims to provide participants with the information they need to make attending the symposium easier and more productive. For information regarding how to contribute to the scientific program and register for the symposium please refer to the Indico pages.
