3rd TA visitors meeting (TAM)

Third User Group Meeting - Online event, 3 - 4 Nov 2021

This meeting is open to all HPC-Europa3 visitors whose visits have already been completed, or are still taking place, on the date of the event. All attendees are expected to present the work done during their HPC-Europa3 visit, either in a poster or a talk. The event will be a nice opportunity to network and meet other visitors from the programme!
