GANIL hosts the first virtual IPAC conference

GANIL hosted the annual IPAC conference in GANIL but not physically in Caen but “virtually” (due the pandemic conditions).

This first virtual conference was “attended ” by 3000 people from the world wide accelerator community, representing around 300 institutions/laboratories.

The conference consisted of 77 prerecorded talks lasting around 25 hours and two sessions, the awards and the closing ceremony were broadcast live.

A summary of statistics can be accessed here.

The grand success of this first virtual IPAC will serve as a gold standard for such future conferences.

The following edition of this annual conference will be held in Brazil, Thailand, Italy and USA.
