Join us for the Gate 10 Hackathon, 

... an exciting hands-on event taking place from January 31 to February 2, 2024, at the Léon Bérard Cancer Center in Lyon, France. This unique gathering is your chance to delve into the new Python-based version of the Monte Carlo software GATE, built upon the powerful Geant4 framework. 

Whether you're a seasoned Gate enthusiast or a newcomer, this hackathon is for you. We've tailored the event's format to be open, flexible, enriching and fun for everyone. Together with other Gate users and developers, you will have the opportunity to set-up a simulation or to implement a new feature in Gate 10. With a maximum of 20 participants, we ensure an intimate and productive atmosphere for everyone to thrive. And who knows - maybe the collaborative and inspriring environment of the hackathon will be the starting point of your next research project. 

You should bring along basic computer science and programming knowledge, and ideally some experience in Python, but if you are an expert-programmer that's even better. 

Don't miss out on this unique chance to expand your horizons in next generation Monte Carlo radiation transport simulation, learn from and with experts, and contribute to the future of Gate 10. Register before December 22, 2023, and be a part of this exciting journey. See you in Lyon!
