Registration

As DESY has a fairly relaxed security policy, the registration procedure is rather simple: just write an email to eugen.wintersberger@desy.de announcing your attendance. The mail should include the following information

  • your institute

  • additional equipment like monitors and/or keyboards if you need one.

No gate passes are required to enter the site. However, I will prepare some badges for you in case you’re getting lost ;).
