Overview
We would like to have a combination of presentations, discussion, and hands-on tutorials covering (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Fermi-VERITAS-HAWC science results and works-in-progress.
- High-level analysis software, data formats etc.
- Data sharing, MoUs, flare alerts.
- Synergies with multi-wavelength/multi-messenger partners.
Conference dinner
On Thursday, May 16, we will have a joint dinner at The Den Restaurant in Downtown Houghton. It is within walking distance from the hotels and we can arrange rides if necessary.
We can organize a joint dinner on Friday as well if people are interested.
