Since its creation in 1983, the CERN Accelerator School has been under the leadership of Kjell Johnsen. With the school well established and having one workshop and four courses to its credit (for a report on the most recent at Oxford see next page), Kjell Johnsen handed over the leadership to Phil Bryant on 1 October 1985.
This change has enabled Kjell Johnsen to take on a new role as Chairman of an Advisory Panel on new ideas for electron-positron Colliders for CERN as part of Carlo Rubbia's Working Group on the Scientific and Technological Long- term Future of CERN (see July/Au gust 1985 issue, page 241).
Meanwhile the Accelerator School moves on, with three courses planned for this year. The first is a specialized one-week course 'Applied Geodesy for Par ticle Accelerator' from 1 April at CERN. In this field CERN has a pre eminent position under the leader ship of Jean Gervaise. The second course will be on basic general accelerator physics and will be
held in Aarhus, Denmark, from 15- 26 September.
Finally, plans are now underway for the next specialised course in the series of joint courses with the US School on High Energy Particle Accelerators, to be held in the US towards the end of the year.
