IRIS-HEP Institute Retreat

4 Sept 2024, 08:25 → 6 Sept 2024, 20:30 US/Pacific

PAA 114 (Physics Building)

The IRIS-HEP software institute has recently completed its sxith year after being funded by the National Science Foundation. The goals of the retreat are to:

1. Checkpoint the status of the IRIS-HEP efforts to date (Year 6 of the project)
2. Clarify the gaps between where we are now and what will be needed for the HL-LHC startup 
3. Update our plans for delivery of IRIS-HEP products to our partners (experiments, ops programs and the LHC and HEP community)
4. Elaborate a vision for what IRIS-HEP can achieve in Year 7 and beyond.

The retreat will take place in Seattle, Washington on the University of Washington campus, in the Physics and Astoronmy Building A-wing (PAA) 114.

Although we will organize for remote participation, we believe that this kind of planning event really benefits from in-person participation so we hope to have a strong turnout in Seattle!

This event is being organized by the IRIS-HEP Software Institute, which is supported by National Science Foundation cooperative agreement PHY-2323298 and previously by cooperative agreement OAC-1836650.
