ACTS Developers Workshop

Nov 7, 2023, 9:30 AM → Nov 10, 2023, 6:00 PM Europe/Zurich

The fourth ACTS developers workshop will take place at IJCLab (Orsay, France) from the 7/11 through 10/11,  following Berkeley (2019), DESY/Virtual (2020) and CERN (2022) 

It will allow for remote participation, which will be supported also by video-recording of the contributions and morning/afternoon recap sessions that allow to follow up on questions/issues raised by attendees that - due to their home institute time zone - can not attend the sessions live, but rather through video recast.  

Letter of Invitation: If you need a letter of Invitation to the Workshop, please contact the organisers.,
