ILL Simulation Day

General Information

The first edition of the ILL Simulation Day will take place on November 25th, 2022 in the Chadwick amphitheatre.

The purpose of this internal workshop is to present the available simulation resources in terms of hardware and software but most and foremost to encourage collaborations among the scientists on the simulation aspect. For that purpose, everyone is welcome to give a 5-minute talk to present what their simulation activity is, or where their interest lies.
