 ar Betev (CERN)\n\nThe Lucky Thirteen Annual ALICE Tier-1/Tier-2 Workshop
  will be hosted by the Slovak Institute of Experimental Physics (IEP SAS)\
 ,  in Nový Smokovec\, a resort in the High Tatras\, Slovak Republic.\n\n
 Novy Smokovec\, c.1922\nNový Smokovec is a historic settlement at the Sla
 vkovský štít's foot in the High Tatras. It is known for its historic vi
 llas that have been transformed into spa resorts and hotels offering welln
 ess treatments. It serves as a jumping off point for scenic hikes to valle
 ys in summertime\, while powdery slopes draw skiers and snowboarders durin
 g the winter months. Rustic restaurants serve meals amid picturesque mount
 ain views. \nWorkshop goals\nAs the LHC concludes Run 3 and transitions i
 nto the intensive four-year Long Shutdown 3\, the Grid community stands at
  an important juncture. The beginning of LS3 and the workshop offers a tim
 ely opportunity to evaluate the remarkable achievements of the past four d
 ata taking years\, during which the ALICE collaboration successfully amass
 ed an unprecedented volume of high-quality p-p and heavy-ion data\, provid
 ing a rich foundation for detailed physics analysis and future discoveries
 .\nBeyond looking in the past\, the workshop serves as a critical planning
  phase for the upcoming LS3 data reprocessing campaign. This endeavor nece
 ssitates an overhaul of operational principles across the ALICE Grid sites
  to ensure the infrastructure can handle the sheer scale of the workflow\,
  both in terms of data reprocessing and analysis. As we look toward the fu
 ture\, we must also confront the rapid emergence of new computational tech
 nologies\, which offer a high potential for growth\, but also introduce si
 gnificant technical hurdles\, requiring a comprehensive improvements of th
 e Grid software as well as site procurement and operation strategies. Our 
 goal is to discuss and plan the necessary updates that will allow these ha
 rdware tools to operate with maximum efficiency\, ensuring the cohesion of
  the Grid computational resources and the workflows using them.\nAs always
 \, this workshop strongly encourages direct\, in-person interaction among 
 site experts\, software developers\, storage specialists\, and network eng
 ineers.\nThe workshop will take place in the conference center of Hotel Á
 trium in Nový Smokovec\, It will serve as both accommodation and workshop
  venue.\nRegistration deadline:  16 August 2026\nWorkshop fee:  300 EUR 
 (approximately 275 CHF / 360 USD)\, please refer to the Payment of worksho
 p fee section.\n\n \n\nhttps://indico.cern.ch/event/1671143/
