Description
The objective of the Future Planning workshop is to provide SNOLAB with a road-map of potential large scale projects that may require its experimental areas on a five to ten year timescale. It is understood that projects will be at various stages of development, and this is not a final selection meeting. Following discussion with the Experiment Advisory Committee, SNOLAB resources could be made available on request to potential projects, to help develop plans and determine suitability and achievability.
