Meetings & Workshops

The Fermi LAT collaboration maintains a list of scientific conferences that may be of interest to Fermi users. Below you can find information about upcoming and past meetings, conferences, workshops, and schools.

  • Fermi Symposia focus on the new scientific investigations and results enabled by Fermi, the mission and instrument characteristics, future opportunities, and coordinated observations and analyses.

  • The Fermi Summer School focuses on analyzing data from the Fermi mission through a combination of lectures and hands-on workshops. Participants collaborate directly with experts in instrumentation, data analysis, theory, and modeling to enhance and expand their research projects. The program covers a wide range of topics, spanning the gamma-ray spectrum, from Fermi's GBM to the highest energies detected by the LAT, and extending to very high energies observed by ground-based gamma-ray telescopes.

    See the Fermi Summer School page for more information.
  • The goal of these workshops is to update the community on opportunities to participate in Fermi science through the Guest Investigator Program (GI) in an interactive forum. The GI program supports a broad range of opportunities including a variety of joint-observation programs through partnership with various ground and space-based observatory partners.
