After more than two years of data taking, this ALICE Tier-1/2 workshop will focus on the experiences gained, the tools used, the latest developments and the plans for the immediate and intermediate future. ALICE site admins are highly encouraged to join this event. They will profit from presentations and tutorials as well from the possibility to meet their colleagues face to face. EVO facilities will also be provided, but in person participation is strongly encouraged.

The workshop fee (350 EUR) is to be paid in cash at registration in Karlsruhe.
