  The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE) is a proof-of-principle R&D experiment at CERN. It is the world’s first proton driven plasma wakefield acceleration experiment, using a high-energy proton bunch to drive a plasma wakefield for electron beam acceleration. The AWAKE experiment will be installed in the former CNGS facility and uses the 400 GeV proton beam bunches from the SPS, which will be sent to a plasma source. An electron beam will be injected into the plasma cell to probe the accelerating wakefield. Challenging modifications in the area and new installations are required for AWAKE. First proton beam to the experiment is expected late 2016. The accelerating electron physics will start late 2017. This paper gives an overview of the project from a physics and engineering point of view, it describes the main activities, the milestones, the organizational set-up for the project management and coordination.

  The First Long Shutdown (LS1) of the LHC and its Injector chain, which started in February 2013, was completed by the first quarter 2015. A huge number of activities have been performed; this paper reviews the process of the coordination of LS1 from the preparatory phase to the testing phase. The preparatory phase is a very important process: an accurate view of what is to be done, and what can be done is essential. But reality is always different, the differences between what was planned and what was done will be described. The paper will recall the coordination, reporting and decisional processes, highlighting points of success and points to be improved in terms of general coordination, in-situ coordination, safety coordination, logistics and resource management.
