BIS’2011

Berkeley Inria Stanford 2011, the first workshop co-organized by CITRIS and Inria

The first workshop Berkeley-Inria-Stanford 2011 (BIS’11) is a joint workshop hosted by CITRIS, Berkeley Campus, on May 23-24, 2011 and co-organized by CITRIS and Inria in partnership with Berkeley and Stanford Universities. BIS’11 is the first workshop launched within the framework of the joint research program Inria@SiliconValley. The objectives of this workshop are two-fold: first, to present the current state of scientific collaborations and second to work on proposal for future ambitious joint projects.

  • Date: Monday & Tuesday, May 23 – 24, 2011
  • Location: The Banatao Institute@CITRIS Berkeley
    UC Berkeley, Sutardja Dai Hall, Auditorium, Level 3
  • Map/Directions: How to come
