European HTCondor Workshop 2019

The European HTCondor Workshop 2019 was held in Italy, hosted by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Lombardy, Italy, very close to the shores of Lago Maggiore.

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) is the European Commission's science and knowledge service which employs scientists to carry out research in order to provide independent scientific advice and support to EU policy. The JRC is located in 6 different sites (Brussels, Geel, Ispra, Karlsruhe, Petten, Seville), and  employs around 3000 staff coming from throughout the EU.

The workshop was the fifth edition in Europe after the successful events at CERN in December 2014, ALBA in February 2016, DESY in June 2017 and RAL in September 2018.

The workshops are opportunities for novice and experienced users of HTCondor to learn, get help and have exchanges between them and with the HTCondor developers and experts. They are primarily addressed at users from EMEA, but open to everyone. The workshops consist of presentations, tutorials and "office hours" for consultancy, covering the HTCondor CE (Compute Element) covered prominently as well.

The workshops address participants from academia and research as well as from commercial entities alike.
