Past workshops


As a precursor to the current commissioning workshops, a series of 16 meetings were held from 2004-2008 in the context of the ILIAS-GW project, which was funded by the European Union. The participants consisted mainly of commissioning people from GEO and Virgo. Presentation and minutes of those meetings are still available here.
