Marie Curie Actions: Inspiring Researchers - Imdea

to continue the network’s fruitful collaboration. ‘The MarieCurie Networks are very attractive to young scientists asthey offer unique opportunities for training through research.Many Fellows have immediately found employment inhigh-energy-physics laboratories in Europe. This allowsthem to stay in the field of particle physics and continuethe challenging work they had started within Artemis,’says Ms Nikolaidou.for beginners, despite the helpfulness of the EU researchoffi cers in Brussels. However, in the end things work andthe EU objective of bringing researchers from across Europetogether is fulfi lled.’Let’s hope this patience and perseverance will see the scientistsfi nding the keys to the universe.German researcher Sebastian Böser, who currently holds apostdoctoral position with Artemis, agrees: ‘I have visitedtwo schools, six workshops and one conference throughoutmy Artemis employment, providing me with a very good setof computing tools as well as the skills to critically analyse thefi rst collision data. My experience in the Artemis frameworkhas been very positive. I feel that I’ve been given excellenttraining and opportunities to quickly integrate myself in, forme, a completely new fi eld of study.’Rosy Nikolaidou is convinced of the need for patience andperseverance when starting a Marie Curie Network. ‘There isquite a lot of preparation associated with running a researchtraining network, which makes things quite complicatedProject acronymArtemisFull project titleInvestigation of the electroweak symmetry breaking and theorigin of mass using the first data of the ATLAS detector at the LHCType of grantTraining NetworkBudgetEUR 2.7 millionDuration of project01-10-2006 - 30-09-2010Scientific disciplinePhysicsLead partnerCommissariat à l’Energie Atomique CEA SaclayDSM/IRFU/SPPFR-91191 Gif-sur-Yvette cedexOther partnersUniversity College London, United Kingdom - Aristotle Universityof Thessaloniki, Greece - University of Sheffield, United Kingdom - InstitutoNationale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) Pisa, Italy - Max Planck Institut für Physik(MPI), Germany - University of Durham, United Kingdom63
