AI Methods in the Context of Particle Physics

24 Mar 2025, 08:00 → 26 Mar 2025, 14:50 Europe/Zurich

222/R-003 (CERN)

A workshop bringing together PhD students with expertise in particle physics and computer science

 

Accessing CERN

You need a CERN badge or a visitor badge to enter CERN premisses. By registering for the event, we will start the process of getting a badge for you, which you will have to pick up at the CERN User Office on Monday between 8:30 - 12:00 or 14:00 - 16:00.

 

Accomodation

Hopefully we will be able to accomodate you all at the CERN hostel. This will be done outside the Indico event.
