Accelerator Science & Engineering (AS&E) Workforce Roundtable and AS&E Traineeship Principal Investigator Meeting

A one-and-half-day meeting on the Accelerator Science & Engineering (AS&E) Workforce Roundtable and a one-day meeting of Traineeship Principal Investigators took place at Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University on January 21-23, 2025. The meeting identified critical issues in the AS&E workforce and potential solutions, with a focus on DOE’s major accelerator facilities. The Traineeship PIs meeting focused on sharing experience, efficiency, and improvements of the Traineeship Programs conducted in six US universities. Several managers from the DOE High Energy Physics Office participated in the meetings. The discussions resulted in a decision to conduct similar meetings every year.
