Description

Workshop focused on the discussion of the status, issues, needs and prospects for further development of the MC generators for LHC physics. The meeting will be driven by introductory dedicated talks, both theoretical and exeprimental, followed by ample time for discussion.

​VIDYO connection will be available.
