The Special Interest Group on Energy (SIG Energy) of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) is excited to announce a webinar, “Powering the Future: Navigating the Transforming Energy Landscape”, featuring the global head of SIG Energy and high energy physicist Dr. Irina Shreyber and distinguished high energy physicists Prof. Dr. Hans Peter Beck, as they share their expertise on the latest developments and emerging trends in the energy sector. The webinar will cover the latest state of the global energy sector, including renewable and nuclear energy, and highlight the key challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the global energy sector. This webinar promises to be an engaging and informative event for all professionals interested in staying ahead of the curve in the evolving energy landscape.

Speaker

Dr. Hans Peter Beck
Particle physicist and reader at the Physics Department of the University of Bern, visiting professor at University Fribourg, senior physicist at CERN, and former president of the Swiss Physical Society

Dr. Hans Peter Beck teaches particle physics courses in Bern and Fribourg and also gives basic physics courses to medical students. He received his PhD from the University of Zurich on electron-proton collisions with the H1 experiment at the HERA accelerator at DESY in Hamburg, Germany. He is a member of the ATLAS collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and his main interest is in the physics of the Standard Model at the highest energies and in searches for new physics beyond the current understanding of nature.

Dr. Hans Peter Beck joined the University of Bern and the ATLAS collaboration at CERN’s LHC in 1997, where he became involved in the architectural design and prototyping of the trigger and data acquisition system for the ATLAS experiment. He was editor of the Technical Proposal and was elected chair of the ATLAS Trigger and Data Acquisition Institutes board and is also known for the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG), an international collaboration engaging in informal science education and outreach for particle physics worldwide.
Energy and energy transition in view of curbing climate change and the detrimental impact it causes for all life in general and society in particular, is of deep concern to Dr. Hans Peter Beck. Without ample and affordable provision of energy with zero or only low impact on the atmosphere, sustainable development goals cannot be reached. As a particle physicist, he knows about the energy potential modern nuclear fission design provides, he knows how radiation interacts with matter, how it can be used, what the related dangers are, and how to be and to stay safe, which is in strong contrast to the often prevailing but only perceived fear of all what has to do with nuclear and radiation.
