CGAL in the Bay Area


The CGAL Open Source Project organizes a half-day workshop at Stanford University. It takes place in Seminar Room S362 on Wednesday 18th of October 2017 from 9am-2pm.

The room is located in the seminar area on the 3rd floor of the South wing of the Clark Center, accessible by going through Peet's Coffee.

As we have limited space, we would like to ask you to register on this page.
