Description
In August 2024, a team of Beamline Controls Engineers at the Synchrotron Light Source BESSY II was running the EPICS Summer School 2024, a two-week event for young engineers, computer scientists, and physicists to introduce them to the world of control systems at big science machines.
Presentations, training, guided tours of facilities, and a hands-on group project helped the trainees understand particle accelerator control systems and develop essential skills in collaboration, problem-solving, and teamwork.
The organizers plan to make this a regular event and will try to establish a collaboration between institutes to share organization and hosting.
