[Martin Klanjsek]

Vabimo vas na 13. predavanje iz sklopa »Kolokviji na IJS« v akademskem letu 2025/26, ki bo v sredo, 3. junija 2026, ob 13.00 v Veliki predavalnici Instituta »Jožef Stefan« na Jamovi cesti 39 v Ljubljani. Predavanje bo v angleščini. Na voljo bodo kava, pijača in prigrizki.

 

 

Zakaj se sploh trudimo: nujnost in pomembnost vključevanja javnosti v znanost danes

 

dr. Steven Goldfarb

Univerza v Melbournu, Avstralija

 

 

Veliki mednarodni eksperimenti, kot jih poznamo v raziskavah fizike delcev, zahtevajo trajno podporo organizacij, ki omogočajo financiranje, ter širše javnosti, in sicer od najzgodnejših faz načrtovanja pa vse do njihove večdesetletne življenjske dobe. V predavanju bom predstavil različne dejavnosti za popularizacijo znanosti in izobraževanje, ki jih razvija in podpira skupnost, ki se ukvarja s fiziko in astrofiziko delcev. Opisal bom povezave, ki so se vzpostavile med znanstveniki, ter vlogo Mednarodne skupine za popularizacijo fizike delcev (IPPOG), ki z uporabo skupnih orodij, strategij in metodologij omogoča učinkovitejše in usklajene programe. Posebej bom izpostavil prizadevanja za ponovno krepitev zaupanja javnosti v znanost in temeljne raziskave. Kot pomemben del tega bom poudaril tudi napredek, do katerega so pripeljali eksperimenti in vpletene institucije pri prepoznavanju vrednosti komunikacijskih veščin kot pomembne kakovosti vsakega raziskovalca.

 

O predavatelju: Steven Goldfarb je eksperimentalni fizik na Univerzi v Melbournu in dolgoletni član eksperimenta ATLAS v CERN-u. Je vodja Mednarodne skupine za popularizacijo fizike delcev (IPPOG) in ena izmed vodilnih osebnosti na področju znanstvene komunikacije. Kot član kolaboracije ATLAS je prejel nagrado Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, dejaven pa je tudi kot predavatelj in pobudnik številnih mednarodnih izobraževalnih in komunikacijskih projektov.

______________

 

 

We invite you to the 13th lecture in the framework of »JSI Colloquia« in the academic year 2025/26, which will take place on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at 1:00 PM in the main lecture hall of Jožef Stefan Institute, Jamova cesta 39 in Ljubljana. The lecture will be held in English. Coffee, drinks and snacks will be available.

 

 

Why we bother: the urgency and necessity of public engagement in science today

 

Dr. Steven Goldfarb

University of Melbourne, Australia

 

 

Large-scale international experiments, such as those used in particle physics research, require the sustained support of funding providers and the public, from the early planning stages throughout their decades-long lifetimes. I will report on a variety of outreach and education activities created and supported by the particle physics and astroparticle physics community. I will describe the coordination that has evolved between the scientists and the role of the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG) to optimize resources and develop effective, coherent programs through the usage of common tools, strategies and methodologies. I will emphasize those efforts designed to regain public trust in science and fundamental research. As an important part of this, I will also highlight progress being made within the experiments and their member institutes to recognize the value of outreach skill development as a valuable quality of any scientific researcher.

 

About the lecturer: Steven Goldfarb is an experimental physicist at the University of Melbourne and a long-standing member of the ATLAS experiment at CERN. He leads the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG) and is one of the prominent figures in the field of science communication. As a member of the ATLAS Collaboration he received the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, and he is actively involved as a lecturer and initiator of numerous international educational and communication projects.
