FermiFusion Workshop: Uniting Minds for Scientific Advancement

Aug 5, 2024, 8:00 AM → Aug 7, 2024, 10:55 PM America/Chicago

Kaitlyn Anderson, Cortez Watkins

Fermilab invites esteemed faculty and students to the FermiFusion Workshop: Uniting Minds for Scientific Advancement to present Fermilab's key emerging research areas and flagship projects driving our scientific mission. Presentations, interactive panels and comprehensive site tours will delve into the cutting-edge research and innovative technologies at the laboratory.

Additionally, this workshop falls within the summer internship period, which provides the unique opportunity to meet Fermilab interns and learn about their projects during Fermilab's annual Poster Session.
