NUPP Workshops
NUPP researchers have a long history of holding and co-organising workshops and conferences, both primarily for local colleagues (within Australia) and on an international basis.
These provide an extremely valuable opportunity for NUPP researchers and students to interact with colleagues, discussing progress in their immediate fields, as well as in related areas such as high-performance computing.
Furthermore, this list of workshops and conferences serves as a vital record and history of the importance and influence of the our researchers in the global realm of research into subatomic and particle physics.
