Open Day 12 December 2007
The University of Groningen offers the research community advanced computer facilities along with visualization and virtual reality facilities to display results.
During the Open Day, the advantages and the challenges of these computational facilities will be presented in short, light-hearted talks by users of the systems.
In addition, there will be a continuous demonstration programme in the Reality Centre, showing the visual work of a series of scientists and designers. You can also take a tour around the computer facilities.
We are delighted to invite you to attend our Open Day and we hope that you will be encouraged to start using these facilities.
