Under IUPAP Commission C11 (Particles & Fields) , WG14 (Accelerator Science) Mandate and Scope are as follow:

Mandate: IUPAP WG14 promotes knowledge exchange in Particle Accelerators for Science and Society, engaging both the scientific community and the public. This mandate emphasizes promoting applications of particle accelerators across a range of scientific fields and societal needs, including:

• Industrial, medical, energy, and environmental applications of accelerator technologies

• Scientific advancements enabled by accelerators (e.g. light sources, neutron sources, and high-energy physics (HEP), heavy ion)

• Development of future facilities (e.g. laser, plasma, compact accelerator neutron source) for research and societal benefits

• Research on accelerator principles, innovations, and sustainable operations

• Supporting global knowledge-sharing and professional engagement through developing teaching materials, educational platforms, workshops, and conferences

Scope: The working group consists of international experts committed to promoting these objectives on a global scale, utilizing local expertise and networks. The group’s activities include:

• Developing resources and communication channels for sharing accelerator science and applications

• Acting as an enabler for greater engagement with scientific and public audiences, informing and inspiring through high quality accelerator-related content and engagement activities.

• Mapping and reviewing accelerator applications and requirements in addressing the SDG, such as life science & healthcare, scientific research & technology

• Enabling and promoting sustainable accelerator facility over its full life cycle

• Supporting workshops, conferences, schools and professional gatherings on accelerator technologies and applications
