Industrial Presentation Engagement with Industry Session

Description

Topics addressed:
Who we are: Cosylab was founded in 2001 as a spin-off of the Josef Stefan Institute, established by a physicist and his students. Today, we have about 270 people, with around one-third physicists and two-thirds engineers and computer scientists.
How we build experts: To contribute effectively to accelerator projects, our team needs four things: technical skills, knowledge of the accelerator field, strong engineering practices, and people skills.
How we train: We use mentorship, internal lectures, external accelerator schools like the CERN Accelerator School EPICS course, and hands-on commissioning work with our supply chain partners.
How we give back: We offer training courses for labs and institutes, work with universities through EU consortia, and participate in the Marie Curie Doctoral Network.
The ecosystem argument: We are all part of the same ecosystem, so working together is essential to close the talent gap.
