On 3 June 2025, the CERN Technology (TE) department held the first-ever TE Graduate Workshop (TEGW2025), a full-day event designed to give TE graduates, fellows, students and trainees a chance to present their work to the whole department. The goals of the workshop were to promote discussion and interdisciplinary exchanges and to create an environment that encouraged networking with supervisors and peers. More than 250 members of TE attended the event, generating wonderful moments of interaction between colleagues working in different domains of expertise.

The workshop began with two lectures (“Physics and perspectives of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC” by Andreas Hoecker, former ATLAS spokesperson, and “FCC feasibility, status, technological and engineering challenges” by Michael Benedikt, leader of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) Feasibility Study), followed by two poster sessions, at which no fewer than 98 posters were presented!

“The quality of the posters was remarkable; we want to extend our warmest congratulations to all the participants!” said José Miguel Jiménez and Paolo Chiggiato, Head and Deputy Head of the TE department, respectively.
