Stowarzyszenie Project Management Institute (PMI) Poland Chapter ma przyjemność zaprosić na drugie seminarium Oddziału Łódzkiego, które odbędzie się w dniu 17 listopada 2008 w Łodzi w Katedrze Mikroelektroniki i Technik Informatycznych na Politechnice Łódzkiej, przy ul. Wólczańskiej 221/223.

Ponieważ prelegenci nie władają biegle po polsku seminarium będzie prowadzone w języku angielskim.

Tematem seminarium będzie: „Managing Science” - Stefan Simrock, Phd; Markus Hoffman, MSC

The purpose of this seminar is to present the basic principles and methods of management to run knowledge-based institutions. In particular the basic concepts of the following topics will be covered:

• Introduction to principles, tools and techniques of management from long-term strategy to administration of day-to-day topics
• Introduction to the management of organizational flux - new technology, new products, new projects, mission changes, and project failure mode.
• Description and assessment of the dominant forces in knowledge-oriented organizations and of the problems of performance measures.
• Description and analysis of scientific laboratory policy, strategy, and politics and the interplay with laboratory customers and missions
• Description of the informal organization, the management of organizational stress, and the related question of accountability
• Some examples from the management of the European XFEL project will be presented.

Stefan Simrock received his Master's degree in Physics in 1983 from the Technical University of Darmstadt (TUD). His Ph.D. in engineering he received in 1988 for his pioneering work on "Radio Frequency Control for Superconducting Cavities" at the S-DALINAC pilot project at the Institute of Nuclear physics at TUD. In 1988 he went to the United States to join Jefferson Lab (former CEBAF), a worldwide leading facility for Nuclear Physics as deputy group leader of the Radio Frequency Systems group. As project leader of the RF control system he was responsible for the construction and commissioning of the rf control systems for the world’s largest installation of 338 superconducting cavities. In 1993 he was appointed leader of the accelerator commissioning team.

During all times he was involved in international collaborations on rf control and in 1995 his leave of absence was approved to visit DESY to develop the first fully digital LLRF control system for the TESLA Test Facility. One year later he joined DESY as deputy group leader of the RF systems group. In 2003 he was appointed group leader of the beam controls group which is responsible for the timing and synchronization systems, the beam feedback system and the RF control systems at DESY. In 2005 he accepted to become the European representative for the ILC control system. His interest in management started in the early 90's and he continued his education in management in several courses. During the past 5 years he concentrated on the development of a large collaborative effort with several universities and the introduction of modern system engineering methodologies for the design and construction of complex electronic systems.

Markus Hoffmann received Master's degree in Physics from the Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms University in Bonn. He did his PhD work on accelerator physics at the Electron Stretcher Accelerator ELSA of the Physics institute in Bonn in 2001. He then worked for about 5 years at HERA, the Hadron Electron Ring Accelerator at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY. He participated in international collaborations. He was the leader of several Hardware and Software projects for the accelerator complex. Now he is deputy to the group leader of the beam controls group at DESY, participating in an international team and managing several engineering and accelerator physics projects concerning the RF-control of FLASH and XFEL. Since 2007 he tuned his attention towards management areas inspired by the Helmholtz-Akademie für Führungskräfte. Since then he had to develop his own methods and tools to adapt the industrial standards to scientific environment.
