A great step for science: Montenegrin researchers to have their place in CERN
Published on: Jun 30, 2017 • 8:32 PM Author: Ministry of Science
Montenegro has become a full member of the CMS experiment, one of the largest LHC experiments in CERN, which means that researchers from Montenegrin scientific institutions will become part of this eminent scientific community for the first time and that Montenegro will become part of the scientific map of the world.
As early as next week, five young researchers from Montenegro will start work on their projects at CERN.
With this status, extraordinary opportunities will open up for young scientists. They will be able to conduct research in their home institutions, due to the availability of CERN data, and will also be able to constantly collaborate with the best experts from around the world through video conferences and occasional stays in Geneva.
Participation in such international collaborations will motivate more young people to stay in our country, which is one of the key priorities of the Ministry of Science. Also, working with the international scientific community and with complex technologies and a large volume of scientific data will boost the competitiveness of our scientists. The knowledge they acquire in this way can be applied in a number of areas.
Large Hadron Collider – LHC with supporting infrastructure, detectors and computer systems is not only the largest scientific experiment in the world, but the most complex machine of today. Membership in the CMS experiment will allow other professions to engage in research as well, including engineers, mechanical and electronics engineers and IT professionals.
Access to international collaborations and membership in renowned scientific institutions has a political significance as well, especially in the context of European integration.
As a reminder, back in April this year, the research group currently composed of physicists and engineers from the University of Montenegro was presented on behalf of Montenegro at the CMS Board by a professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Dr. Nataša Raičević. Montenegrin group proposed to the CMS Board concrete projects on which work would be undertaken in the field of fundamental research, as well as on improving the detector.
The Compact Muon Solenoid – CMS is one of the most complex scientific projects in which the highest energy collisions so far are produced. A curiosity is that the complex of CMS detectors weighs two times more than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
