TOMSK, Apr 16 – RIA Tomsk. The Trans-Siberian school on high-tech physics started at Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) on Monday; according to world scientific experts, its main task – is the transfer of knowledge to young people, which will "pick up" these studies in the future, the correspondent of RIA Tomsk reports from the opening.
Earlier it was reported that the five-day Trans-Siberian School on High-Tech Physics at TPU will receive more than 100 participants. Within the framework of the school there will be three sections. The first is for young people. On the second scientists of the world scientific schools will read more than 20 open lectures, on the third there will be a discussion about the role of Russian universities in international mega-projects. The school is held in English.
According to the employee of the Commission for Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies of France Maxim Titov, this school is absolutely unique for Tomsk and the entire Siberian region. It is named Trans-Siberian because among the experts of world universities, which were engaged in its preparation, there were representatives of Siberian universities.
"The school is aimed at allowing students to touch the completely unique research that is being conducted at CERN and its technological complex to understand how difficult projects are being implemented at CERN by international collaborations consisting of thousands of people", – he said.
"In recent years, TPU entered a whole series of developments, in particular, to upgrade the Large Hadron Collider. At the same time TPU uses its strengths - engineering experience – and contributes to the development of CERN. CERN appreciates this, this is why it's administrative board will come to the school. The main goal of the school – is educational, because there is a need to transfer the knowledge to young people", – said the former graduate of TPU, employee of Holloway University in London Pavel Karataev.
