*13 – 14 October 2016*


We are delighted to announce the first UK workshop on the Electron-Ion 
Collider (EIC), which will focus on the physics and engineering 
opportunities that it presents, to be held at Ross Priory on Loch 
Lomond, just outside Glasgow, Scotland, on 13-14 October 2016. The 
meeting will comprise one and a half days of talks on theoretical, 
experimental and instrumentation topics.

The EIC, which is to be built either at Jefferson Lab or Brookhaven 
National Lab in the USA in the 2020s, is one of the key priorities of 
the US Nuclear Science Long Range Plan. These are early days in the 
design of what will become a world-leading facility and of its 
experimental programme and it is the perfect time to get involved at a 
small or a large scale — whether on the physics case or on the 
accelerator or detector design. The main aim of this workshop is to 
present the EIC — its physics goals and possibilities, the current 
designs of the two versions of the collider, the detector R&D and the 
associated challenges — generate discussion of opportunities and open 
the ground for new collaborations on the EIC projects, particularly 
across the UK and other European communities.

Details of the workshop and registration (remote participation is 
possible) can be found at
