12th Geant4 Collaboration Workshop
The Birchcliffe Centre





A workshop for Geant4 Collaboration members. User participation is invited for the first 4 days, 13th-16th September. This will include user presentations, Geant4 status reports, discussions, a technical forum meeting, tutorials and Sunday excursion. Also, the venue is available for special interest group meetings on the day immediately before the workshop - contact workshop support for further information.
Members of the public are invited to attend the first day of user presentations, 13th September, as day delegates, but are asked to register in advance. This is expected to be of interest to local astronomy and scientific societies.
