Description
The Accelerator Industry Permanent Forum (AIPF) has rapidly evolved into a strategic platform connecting industry and research institutions across Europe. AIPF’s mission is to enhance cooperation within the accelerator ecosystem, fostering industrial engagement in Big Science initiatives.
In two years since its creation, AIPF has been involved in several high-level European policy-shaping activities, contributing to discussions on industrial readiness, supply-chain, and innovation pathways for research infrastructures. AIPF brings together companies of all sizes and leading research laboratories to identify barriers, opportunities, and solutions for more effective collaborations. Activities include the definition of methodological tools and frameworks aimed at improving procurement processes, co-development approaches, and early industrial integration in scientific projects.
In this contribution, we present AIPF’s objectives, governance model, achievements to date, and ongoing workstreams. We highlight how an industry-driven forum can support Europe’s strategic ambitions in accelerator science and technology, especially at a time when strong partnerships between laboratories and industry are crucial.
