for Geant4 users and developers, that will be held on *Thursday, March 
11th, 2021* from 16:00 to 19:00 Central European Time (CET).

Due to the Covid-19 persisting situation, this edition of the Technical 
Forum will be held only online, through Zoom. Please find the connection

The main focus of this edition of the Technical Forum for the developer 
part is the discussion of this year Geant4 work-plan, that will shape 
the content of the 2021 *Geant4 major release 11.0*, with in particular:

  * The new tasking model that will become the default one in
    replacement of the MT scheme
  * Improvements and developments regarding EM and Hadronic Physics
  * VecGeom library becoming the default for the solids
  * The adoption of C++17
  * Improvement of the data library handling

In addition to the presentation of the 2021 work-plan, there will be the 
opportunity for users to give inputs and express requests and 
requirements to the Geant4 collaboration. We encourage as usual, all our 
users to contribute to the session with their inputs that may concern 
basic functionalities, technical issues, performances, user support or 
other Geant4-user related aspects. Please use this opportunity to 
discuss priority or time sensitivity regarding existing open issues and 
to raise new issues or new aspects of existing ones.

Please send your proposals, issues for discussion, feedbacks and new 
requirements  to Marilena Bandieramonte

<marilena.bandieramonte at cern.ch

*/In view of the main topic of this edition of the Geant4 Technical 
Forum, we strongly encourage you to forward this message to your
