On Thursday, April 30 2015, Frank Simon from the Max Planck Institute for Physics was elected new spokesperson of CALICE. The CALICE (CAlorimeter for LInear Collider Experiment) collaboration unites more than 300 physicists and engineers worldwide. The collaboration's goal is to develop new calorimeters for future linear collider detectors.

“The collaboration has shown that it is capable of developing state-of-the-art subdetectors and that its concepts and technologies go far beyond the collaboration’s boundaries”, says Frank Simon.
