In the last two weeks of January, I had the privilege of visiting multiple particle accelerator facilities across Europe as part of my work with ISIS-II at STFC. The aim of this was to develop connections, exchange ideas, and investigate the potential for collaboration. As a postdoctoral researcher specializing in particle accelerator environmental sustainability, I often find myself positively overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work occurring around the world to reduce the environmental impact of particle accelerators. The last two weeks have not been an exception.
