New Opportunities for Better User Group Software (NOBUGS)
Motivation
The 14th NOBUGS Conference is co-organised with the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) & the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), Grenoble - France from 23rd to 26th September 2024.
After 28 years the NOBUGS conference is finally coming back to where it started - the European Photon and Neutron Campus, home to the ESRF and ILL in Grenoble! The goal of the NOBUGS (New Opportunities for Better User Group Software) Conference Series is to foster collaboration and exchange between scientists and IT professionals working on software for X-ray, neutron and muon sources from around the world. Better software for data acquisition and data analysis will increase productivity of facility users and thus maximize the scientific output.
A number of satellite meetings will be organised before and after the conference on specialised topics. Refer to the page on Satellite Meetings for the list of proposed meetings.
