European Space Sciences Committee (ESSC)

SEN

The European Space Science Committee (ESSC) was created in 1974 to give European scientists an independent voice in space science. Somewhat comparable to the Space Studies Board of the National Academies in the United States, the ESSC is uniquely positioned in Europe to provide independent scientific advice on space science issues to the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Commission (EC), national space agencies and other stakeholders. It has become the reference body in Europe for space science issues.

Enables the FWB community to participate in the pan-European space science collaboration strategy

Jungfraujoch - International Foundation Hugh Altitude Research Stations Jungfraujoch and Gornergrat (HFSJG)

SEN

As an international organization, the mission of the HFSJG Foundation is to provide infrastructure and support for scientific research of international significance for experiments that must be carried out at an altitude of 3,000-3,700 meters above sea level or for which a high alpine climate and environment are required. The research station, the Sphinx Observatory on the Jungfraujoch and the laboratory space in the former Swisscom relay station on the eastern ridge of the Jungfrau, as well as the two astronomical observatories, Gornergrat South and Gornergrat North, are managed for this purpose. The Foundation provides the necessary infrastructure for scientific work for researchers from all over the world.

Unique opportunity to conduct experiments in a high altitude environment and in an equipped laboratory (atmospheric chemistry, astronomical observations, physiology, meteorology, ...)

Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee (NUPECC)

SEN

The objective of NuPECC is to develop the European collaborative strategy in nuclear science by supporting collaborative projects between research groups in Europe, and to promote nuclear physics and its transdisciplinary use in applications for the benefit of society.

Enables the FWB community to participate in the pan-European collaboration strategy in nuclear science

EAI

SEN

The European Astrobiology Institute (EAI) is a consortium of European research and higher education institutions and organizations, as well as other stakeholders, whose objective is to carry out research, training, outreach and dissemination activities in the field of astrobiology in a comprehensive and coordinated manner, thus ensuring a leading role for the European Research Area in this field.

Enables the FWB community to follow and participate in European activities in the field of astrobiology

ICDP

SEN

ICDP's strategy is to provide a working infrastructure that facilitates outstanding scientific efforts. Its goal is to understand the functioning of the planet Earth, using archives from the geological past, in close collaboration with partner organizations. Consideration of the needs of key stakeholders is of fundamental importance, particularly with respect to climate change, natural hazards, and natural resources, but our commitment to open discovery science remains paramount.

Unique opportunity to have privileged access to deep continental drilling samples.

Expérience Auger

SEN

The Pierre-Auger Observatory is an astronomical observatory inaugurated in 2008 near the city of Malargüe in Argentina and designed to study high energy cosmic rays (> 1018 eV).

The F.R.S.-FNRS finances the participation in research activities through its Fonds IISN and is represented on the Finance Board of the Auger Experiment

IceCube

SEN

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is designed to search for astrophysical neutrinos. Indeed, its optical modules allow to detect the small number of photons emitted during the interaction of a high energy neutrino in the vicinity of the detector. The spatial and temporal distribution of the light allows the reconstruction of the direction of the incident neutrino in order to identify its source. The identification of point sources of high energy neutrinos, in the TeV range, would allow to identify the sources of cosmic rays and to study their acceleration processes.

The F.R.S.-FNRS finances the participation in research activities through its Fonds IISN and is represented in the governance bodies of Icecube

CERN

SEN

CERN's goal is to enable research to better understand what the Universe is made of and how it works. To this end, a unique complex of particle gas pedals is made available to scientists, enabling them to push back the limits of human knowledge.

The F.R.S.-FNRS finances the participation in experiments and their research infrastructures through its Fonds IISN and is represented in the governance bodies of CERN
