Behind the creation of the new ILC catchphrase

| 25 June 2025

The Advanced Accelerator Association Promoting Science and Technology (AAA) is a collaborative organisation in Japan that brings together industry, academia, government, and the public sector to promote advanced accelerator initiatives, including the International Linear Collider (ILC). As part of its efforts to raise awareness and public interest, AAA sponsored the prestigious Senden Kaigi Advertising Awards, one of […]

Behind the scenes
