28th Geant4 Collaboration Meeting
Room A
Hokkaido University
We are really pleased to hold the 28th Geant4 Collaboration Meeting in Hokkaido University !
The meeting (Monday through Friday) will be run in parallel of the medical tutorial (Tuesday through Thursday). They will share a common Technical Forum on Thursday. The Collaboration meeting format is oherwise pretty standard; the agenda content will be evolved during the coming weeks. This page itself will provide news on the meeting organization.
Please note this is a closed Geant4 meeting, reserved to Geant4 members or to people having received an explicit invitation by the Collaboration.
Any questions or requests should be addressed to g4cm2023[at]ml.post.kek.jp (please replace "[at]" by "@", this is to minimize spams).
