11th HL-LHC Collaboration Meeting, CERN - 19-22 October 2021
Following the 10th HL-LHC Collaboration Meeting held partially by video in October 2020, the 11th HL-LHC Collaboration Meeting will again be held in digital format and will take place from 19 to 22 October 2021. This format was chosen after consultations with all collaboration partners and tries to address the preferences of all HL-LHC collaborators given the persisting travel restrictions and limitations for social gatherings due to COVID-19. Based on the traditional programme with plenary and work package parallel sessions, this meeting will serve as a technical update forum for the 5th Cost and Schedule Review, which is scheduled for 8-10 November 2021. The main objectives will be to update all HiLumi collaborators on the results of key HL-LHC prototype tests, to highlight the progress made in the last year when all work still had to adapt to pandemic restrictions, and to update all collaborators on the latest schedule changes. As in previous editions, the meeting will include a restricted session for the 11th HL-LHC Collaboration Board on the afternoon of October 20, also organised as a video meeting. This year, all HL-LHC collaborators will be invited to follow the presentations 100% remotely. Participation in the meeting is by invitation only, and registration is mandatory and without fee. Video connection details can be found in the left menu under "Zoom links". Data Privacy Protection Policy : OC no.11 - ATS Events Privacy Notice - Video conferencing Privacy Notice
