Activities
The scientific organization of DRD1 is based on three complementary components: ยท
Work Packages (WPs): long-term, application-oriented strategic R&D with institute-located dedicated funding, addressing strategic R&D goals outlined in the ECFA Detector R&D Roadmap.
Working Groups (WGs): transversal activities covering detector physics, applications, materials and gases, electronics, production, common facilities, training and dissemination. They provide the backbone of gaseous detector R&D across the Collaboration, facilitating the sharing of efforts, knowledge, expertise and developments, supporting strategic detector R&D directions, and enabling joint activities between institutes.
Common Projects (CPs): projects partially supported by the Collaboration that address areas of common interest to the DRD1 community, including blue-sky and generic R&D, detector physics R&D, novel applications, technology R&D, and industry technology transfer.
Scientific coordination between WPs, WGs and CPs is provided by the Scientific Coordination Board, composed of the Work Packages Coordinator, the Work Package Leaders, the Working Groups Coordinator, the Working Group Conveners, and the DRD Liaison Persons to other DRD Collaborations:
