Accelerating Sustainability
Speaker: Hannah Wakeling, John Adams Institute, Oxford/STFC
Particle accelerators are vital for medical applications, scientific discovery and technological development, but they generally come with significant environmental impacts. As the climate crisis intensifies, can we design and operate accelerators with greater environmental responsibility? Can this be achieved without hindering scientific progress — and could accelerators even help address some environmental challenges?
