Description

SCIENCE WEEK – 2020

TRIUMF's Science Week 2020 will be held from August 17-21.

Every year TRIUMF Science Week is an opportunity for the users and community of the laboratory to come together to hear updates and progress reports as well as  discuss new ideas. As mentioned already in our initial announcement in March, this year we are organizing Science Week in the context of developing a long-range, 20-year vision for TRIUMF.

Science Week will be the kick-off event for the development of the 20-year vision for the laboratory and its community. The process will include opportunities to develop and present proposals of new ideas during Science Week and subsequent townhall meetings, topical workshops and other consultation with the community. We currently plan to complete the process in the summer of 2021 and by then have a 20-year vision to present to the TRIUMF community, the TRIUMF Board and stakeholders.

The 2020 TRIUMF Science Week is set for Aug 17-21 2020, and due to uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 situation, we are planning to hold the meeting online.

Access information is available below and in the Timetable.

For general inquires please contact, Jens Dilling, Oliver Kester, Reiner Kruecken, or Paul Schaffer
