Europe will invest large sums on particle accelerators in the coming years. The investments are needed in order for Europe to be competitive in areas like material sciences, biomedicine, health care, physics and chemistry. A consequence of the efforts is that the demands for skilled scientists and engineers in accelerator technology increases. Hence, our proposed NPAP strategy is to implement new activities for exchanging good practices and promoting academic program in the field of accelerators. We propose a program for the development of teaching materials and courses in accelerator physics and technology, in particular intended for students from the northern part of Europe. The objective is to ensure future European accelerator expertise that can exploit, develop and improve current and future particle accelerators. The Nordic Particle Accelerator Program (NPAP) aims to broaden the opportunities for education in accelerator physics and technology and to introduce students to the field of accelerator physics. Ultimately, we hope to encourage students to conduct their master's / Ph.D. project in accelerator physics. In addition, the involved partner institution actors, will exchange experience with respect to the courses and the seminars organized in partner institutions. The program is structured in 3 work-packages: WP01: 2 accelerator schools: Nordic Particle Accelerator Schools, NPAS, preparation and implementation WP02: MOOCs and e-learning materials: preparation and implementation WP03: Seminar, webinars and other networking activities WP01. Preparation and implementation of two summer schools for European students: the Nordic Particle Accelerator School (NPAS). NPAS will be organized by the seven partners in the project, i.e., the MAX IV Laboratory, the European Spallation Source (ESS), and the universities in Lund, Uppsala, Aarhus, Oslo and Jyväskylä, with support from silent partners of several European universities and research institutes. NPAS will act as a feeder school for JUAS by preparing students at Bachelor/early Master for JUAS’ intensive university-accredited programs. All of these partners are very active in the accelerator science and complement each others. WP02. Preparation and implementation of a MOOC. The advantages with MOOCs over regular campus teaching is for example: - the possibility to reach/inform/teach large communities of learners (also representatives from companies/organisations) - synergy effects - the inbuilt capacity of the platforms to host discussions between people with completely different backgrounds and experiences that can offer different perspectives on course content - the ability to promote the ESS/LU globally - big data gathering - recruiting - targeted strategy to identify which candidates are most likely to not only have the skills their organization needs, but which ones are staying current in their field, are learning new skills, and which ones are motivated. WP03. To complement the teaching aspect of WP01 and WP02, we propose to establish and strengthen a network between the partner institutions, while organizing seminars, webinars and events related to accelerator sciences. The NPAP will have a large impact on the education of accelerator science in Europe and in the exchange of students at master's and bachelors levels. It will also convey opportunities to employment for newly graduated students from all of Europe. Finally, the potential longer term benefits of this program is the intrinsic nature of the MOOC connected to the accelerator school series supported by the new network in the Northern part of Europe.
