Organization and management of scientific events (Indico)

Indico is the web platform provided by the School for managing scientific events, such as conferences, workshops, seminars and meetings.

The service makes it possible to organize the phases of an event in a centralized way, from publishing the program to collecting materials, providing the public with a single, up-to-date access point.

Indico is open-source software developed by CERN and used by universities, research centers and public institutions. SNS provides the academic community with a configured and updated installation.

The system is integrated with the University Zoom platform.
