Riga Technical University Welcomes the Best Accelerator Scientists

The ARIES project «Accelerator Research and Innovation for European Science and Society» annual meeting where the achieved is reviewed and new goals for future steps are set is taking place in Riga from May 22 until May 25. ARIES is a project of the Horizon 2020 programme the goal of which is to make accelerator technologies more available for industry and science promoting the society’s gains of this field.
