Overview

Large scientific experiments require shared purpose, tolerance, transparent collaboration and long-term planning across institutions and countries.

Key ideas

  • Allow people to dream and define measurable shared goals.
  • Use bottom-up collaboration led by credibility and technical competence.
  • Accept diversity, uncertainty and the possibility of failure.
  • Build transparent agreements on responsibilities, resources and deliverables.

From science to policy

The session highlights the importance of translating technical knowledge into institutions, cooperation and decisions that can be understood and acted on by parliamentarians and other public leaders.
