EPICS Collaboration Meeting

7 Apr 2025, 09:00 → 11 Apr 2025, 17:30 Europe/London

Pickavance Lecture Theatre/Visitor Center (ISIS Neutron and Muon Source)

The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System, EPICS, is a set of open-source software tools, libraries and applications developed collaboratively and used worldwide to create distributed control systems for both scientific instruments and industrial applications such as particle accelerators, telescopes, experiment beam lines and other large scientific experiments. 
 

The EPICS Collaboration Meetings provide an opportunity for developers and managers from the various EPICS sites to come together and discuss their work and inform future plans. Attendees can see what is being done at other laboratories, and review plans for new tools or enhancements to existing tools to maximize their effectiveness to the whole community and avoid duplication of effort.

The Spring 2025 EPICS Collaboration Meeting and related workshops and training events will take place between Monday 7 April and Friday 11 April 2025 at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The ISIS Neutron and Muon Source is leading the organisation of this event with cooperation from the Diamond Light Source and Central Laser Facility.

We are providing details to support visa  applications, and will advise on travel, accommodation, and dining arrangements.

We look forward to seeing you in Oxfordshire in the spring.
