There is a significant margin for Greek industrial and other firms to increase their participation as suppliers to CERN and to take part in its programmes, the new President of the CERN Council Dr. Ursula Bassler argued, in a statement to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) on Monday.
Dr. Bassler was in Athens to participate in an event held at the Demokritos research centre, organised by the General Secretariat for Research and Technology (GSRT), with the participation of scientists from Greece’s largest research centres, universities and companies involved in relevant fields.
She briefed those attending on the potential benefits of Greece’s participation in CERN, the biggest nuclear and particle physics laboratory in the world. According to statements made by Bassler, Greece’s Alternate Research and Innovation Minister Kostas Fotakis and the head of the GSRT Patricia Kyprianidou, talks are currently underway to arrive at a more favourable settlement for Greece’s debts to CERN from previous years.
