CERN openlab IT Challenges Workshop

10 Dec 2013, 09:30 → 11 Dec 2013, 13:30 Europe/Zurich

Holiday Inn Hotel, Thoiry

The CERN openlab is organizing a workshop to define the key IT challenges to be addressed in the coming years in support of the ambitious upgrade schedule of the LHC programme. These challenges will help shape the long-term direction within which collaborations and projects can be established between CERN the openlab commercial partners. Input and participation from other research centres is welcome to define common use cases and collaborate on joint projects.

Read the Scientific Program for more information on the motivations and objectives of this workshop.

Please note that registration to this event is open! Last date for registration is Friday November 22nd.
