Software & Computing Round Table (2020)

Feb 4, 2020, 11:00 AM → Dec 18, 2020, 1:00 PM US/Eastern

In light of the evergrowing role that software and computing play in high energy physics, nuclear physics, and related fields, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Jefferson Lab have organized the Software & Computing Round Table to foster the interplay of computing and science. The monthly round table forum aims for knowledge transfer and to encourage common projects within our scientific community. 

Remote meeting via BlueJeans (Meeting ID 373678588)
