Collaboration Meetings

EPICS meetings provide a chance for developers and managers from the various different sites to come together and discuss their work in progress and make plans for the future. They give a chance to see what is being done at other laboratories, and to review the specifications for new tools or enhancements to existing ones in order to maximize their usefulness to the whole community and avoid duplication of effort.

This hidden meetings page is slightly different to the main meetings page because it also indicates the future schedule as I am aware of it, and some of the links to past meetings point to a local copy of the presentations files which I make in case the host site removes their originals. Please send any corrections to me.

Future Schedule

• Fall 2025 Collaboration meeting in Chicago, Illinois, a 1-day workshop at the ICALEPCS 2025 conference.
• June 2030 at Argonne would keep our pattern of hosting one on site every 12 years.
• 2-5 September 2035, at KEK in Japan.
  The Solar Eclipse occurring on 2035-09-02 will be visible from both KEK and J-PARC.
