Steering Group

Advisory Group

We have asked the advisory group to (re)advertise the HSF. The text is here if you can do the same for a community not on the AG; it is appreciated.

Sapta will make a poster that can be put on office doors and advertise to her undergraduates - get them while they’re young!

JuliaHEP

First organising for JuliaHEP 2026 next week. It will probably be in Germany (99.999999%). As JuliaCON is in August we disfavour having JuliaHEP the week before/after - likely we’ll wait until September or October.
