Sister Networks

EuCAIF (European Collaboration for AI in Fundamental Physics) is a European network that promotes the integration of artificial intelligence into fundamental physics research. It connects universities, research laboratories, and computing centers across Europe to advance AI applications in areas such as particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and accelerator science. EuCAIF fosters collaboration through working groups, training events, and annual meetings, building a community at the intersection of AI and fundamental research.

International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) WG14 promotes accelerator science by fostering international collaboration, knowledge exchange, and innovation across scientific, industrial, and societal applications. Its activities span research coordination, sustainable facility operations, dissemination of teaching materials, workshops, and conferences, aiming to advance both fundamental science and practical applications for the benefit of society.

JENA (Joint ECFA–NuPECC–APPEC Activities) is a coordinated effort uniting the particle, nuclear and astroparticle physics communities to address shared scientific and infrastructural challenges. It organizes joint symposia and working groups to foster strategic alignment, especially on detector R&D, computing, data management and training. JENA also produces cross-community roadmaps and white papers that guide European research-infrastructure planning. Overall, it strengthens coherence and collaboration across three major physics domains for upcoming large-scale projects.

Machine Learning for Particle Accelerators (MaLAPA) is an international network dedicated to advancing the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques in particle accelerator research and operations. It brings together researchers from Europe, the United States, and Japan, fostering collaboration across disciplines and institutions. The network also organizes a yearly international workshop, providing a forum to share progress, exchange ideas, and promote innovation in accelerator science.

The Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee (NUPECC) is the European body that coordinates nuclear physics research across Europe. NUPECC provides strategic guidance for nuclear physics research, promotes collaboration between European institutions, and advises on major research infrastructure investments. The committee plays a crucial role in shaping the future of nuclear physics research in Europe.

The Test Infrastructure and Accelerator Research Area (TIARA) is a European project that provides access to world-class accelerator test facilities for researchers across Europe. TIARA enables researchers to test and validate new accelerator technologies, conduct cutting-edge experiments, and develop innovative solutions for future accelerator applications in fundamental research and industry.
