Unleashing the Power of CAS Courses

Over the last decades, the learning path of an accelerator scientist has evolved. Two CERN group leaders tell us how CAS Courses are proving invaluable.

Particle accelerators require armies of engineers and physicists for the maintenance of and improvement of current accelerator structure and the design of future ones. The necessary skills are unique and as consequently the demand for specialised profile in research and industry alike has been growing steadily over the last decades. The CERN Accelerators School (CAS) and its courses are necessary to help further train this pool of recruits.
