Liviana: CERN Online Conference
The second CERN Liviana Online Conference was held from 1 to 14 November 2021.
Liviana is a decentralised series of exchanges and symposia that runs for two weeks, providing an opportunity for CERN members to connect and share. The event is based on the sense of openness, free-floating train of thought, and cheerful spirit that the Spanish term liviana connotes.
Plans are already underway for a 2022 Liviana Online Conference.
