2022 CERN openlab Technical Workshop
Zoom
CERN
At the 2022 CERN openlab Technical Workshop we will review the R&D projects carried out in the first year of our seventh three-year phase and discuss future plans.
The event will feature short technical talks, panel discussions on specific topics and deep-dive sessions dedicated to particular projects. As this event will be held online, most of the sessions will take place in the afternoons (local time at CERN) to facilitate participation from all around the world.
We hope to see many of you taking part in this event, please register here.
