Description

The field of accelerator science and technology is crucial for advancements in fundamental physics, medical applications, and industrial processes, and via its technological inventions has a considerable impact on society.
The specialized nature of the accelerator domain necessitates highly skilled personnel. However, the domain of accelerator science and technology is rarely taught as it requires a high specialisation in the different domains.
To provide training opportunities is an excellent possibility to demonstrate the diversity of the field and to attract and keep young talent in the domain of accelerator technology.
The CERN Accelerator School (CAS) has played a pivotal role in addressing this need for over four decades, providing comprehensive training to a global community of scientists and engineers.
This talk will explore the crucial role CAS plays within the broader global training landscape for accelerator science and technology, and its contribution to the advancement of this striving field.
This presentation will specifically cover: an overview of the school's evolution and structure; the expansion and adaptation of CAS courses to reflect advancements in accelerator technology and emerging research areas; the impact on the accelerator community; global collaborations; complementary programs; and addressing future needs.
