Un nuovo sito Interactions.Org
Collega,
la collaborazione Interactions che raggruppa i maggiori
laboratori di HEP nel mondo e di cui Frascati e' membro ha annunciato
ieri, nel corso della Lepton Photon Conference a Fermilab,
la nascita del sito Interactions.org. Vi invito a visitarlo e a fornire
commenti, allego testo del comunicato stampa di Fermilab.

World's Particle Physics Laboratories Join To Create New Communication Resource
www.interactions.org Goes Live
Batavia, Ill.—The worldwide particle physics community today
(August 12) launched Interactions.org, a new global, Web-based
resource developed to provide news, high-quality imagery,
video and other tools for communicating the science of particle physics.
“The Web site, found at www.interactions.org, provides
newswire with the latest developments in particle physics
and related fields, as well as links to current particle physics
news from the world's press,” said Communications Director Petra Folkerts
of the DESY laboratory in Hamburg, Germany.
“It offers high-resolution photos and graphics from the world’
s particle physics laboratories and links to education and outreach programs.”
The site also presents timely information about science
policy and funding; links to universities; a glossary and a conference calendar.
“Interactions.org was developed and is jointly maintained
by the InterAction collaboration,” said deputy Communications
director Youhei Morita, of KEK laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan.
“Our collaboration represents the communication staffs of all the world's
particle physics laboratories. The new site responds to the
growing demand for information and images from particle physics
laboratories in Europe, North America and Asia.”
The group pooled experience and resources to create a centralized Web site.
“Already we have hundreds of journalists, researchers and
policy-makers using Interactions.org on a daily basis,”
said James Gillies, head of the Education and Communication Group
at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. “This outstanding collectin
of materials represents the combined efforts of communications
professionals from around the world.”
InterAction collaborators said the current Web site is only the beginning.
“Interactions.org will give the media, the science community,
policy makers, funding agencies, students, and teachers the tools
to better understand and communicate the nature and value of
particle physics research and its connections to other fields of s
cience,” said Judy Jackson, Public Affairs director at
Fermilab near Chicago.
Physicist and communicator Stefano Bianco of INFN Frascati
Laboratory, near Rome, said that users of interactions.org will
find current information about the status of initiatives, people
and facilities involved not only in particle physics but also in ot
her related fields, and not only in one country but across the globe.
“Global collaboration is the foundation of success in this era
of particle physics research,” Neil Calder, Director of Communication
s for the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in Palo Alto,
California. “Interactions.org will help facilitate that teamwok.”
