Opening addresses of the first CAS

Thanks to the CERN archive, we can recover part of the history of CERN and the CERN Accelerator School. Here you can find the opening speech by P.J. Bryant and Kjell Johnsen.

On this audio file, we can listen the voices of P.J. Bryant and K. Johnsen  at the very first CERN Accelerator School.

In 1983, a significant milestone was achieved in the field of accelerator science with the inauguration of the CERN Accelerator School (CAS).This initiative began a structured effort to educate and engage early-career researchers and seasoned scientists alike in the rapidly advancing domain of accelerator physics. The opening addresses delivered by two key figures of the time, P.J. Bryant and Kjell Johnsen, set the tone for what would become a cornerstone in global accelerator scientists’ training.
