Out of an abundance of caution in response to COVID-19, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is further postponing the 2020 Large Facilities Workshop from September 2020 to the spring of 2021.

In place of this year’s Large Facilities Workshop, NSF will be holding webinars on select topics during the September – October timeframe. Please sign up to get notified of any updates.

Why Attend a Workshop?

The workshop is a collaborative forum for the National Science Foundation’s Large Facilities and other complex scientific facilities and organizations. Desired outcomes to support NSF’s mission and promote the scientific endeavor include:

• Provide a forum to collect and share best practices and lessons learned
• Discuss new initiatives and collect community input
• Demonstrate project management, operations, and business-related tools and techniques
• Expand our community of practice by connecting colleagues across disciplines and organizations to promote collaboration between facilities

Attendance is especially beneficial for those who have a role in the development, planning, construction or operation of large complex scientific facilities. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in various networking events with their colleagues.
