Overview of the participation of the CIS
and SEE countriesin the LHC Experiments
NEC, VARNA12 – 16 September 2005
Nicolas Koulberg, CERN
Status: Cooperation Agreements with all countries exceptTurkey, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan
Interest of NMS physicists in the CERN scientific programme continues to grow (not only LHC but fix target programme, ISOLDE and AD)
CIS Countries are independent members of ATLAS, ALICE and LHCb and member of RDMS in CMS
CERN support for visits: 350 Man/month in 2005
CERN mandate: Foster the international collaboration
CERN priorities: to assist the European NMS in their effort to build HEP communities of sustainable size and maintainIts valuable collaboration with major international partners

• No fund for contribution and visits• low salary in home institutes• narrow network capacity
Let us be proud of our arduous workAnd thirsty for the arts and knowledge..

Summary
Valuable contribution to CERN research programme
Good use of links with JINR not only in CMS
Good use of the industrial opportunities in Russia, Belarus,Serbia, Croatia as well as in Armenia and of high-tech in Russia, Ukraine, Slovenia
Strengthening of the positions of the national institutes through the international cooperation
Almost all the countries involved in the Grid development
Existence of highly qualified potential
Lack of financial support for science and fundamental research
No stable funding for the collaboration and lack of resources for the visits and stay at CERN
Still important brain-drain
Internal tension within the national scientific communities: often small teams are spread over the whole programme and have less visibility
Lack of clear policy or elaborated strategy
Misbalance CERN – other research activities
Still problematic:
Real improvement : Romania, Serbia, Croatia
Strong young generation (I/3 below 35 year old)
However:
Good progress for finding solutions for a further participation in the LHC physics programme
