2025 CERN openlab Technical Workshop

4 Mar 2025, 13:00 → 6 Mar 2025, 12:00 Europe/Zurich

503/1-001 - Council Chamber (CERN)

 

At the 2025 CERN openlab Technical Workshop we will review the R&D projects carried out during the last year and discuss future plans.

The event will feature technical talks, a poster session and a technology track dedicated to our industrial partners. 

The event will take place in person at CERN on 04-06 March 2025, and it will provide a perfect opportunity for our industrial partners to meet with the students and fellows working on common projects

We hope to see many of you taking part in this event!
