🎓 Why Grenoble?
Grenoble has a long tradition of excellence in research, open collaboration, and systems engineering.
The meetup will take place at Université Grenoble Alpes, in the IMAG building, a long-standing hub for computer science and systems research. The building hosts several major research teams, including the Laboratoire d’Informatique de Grenoble (LIG), and plays an important role in fostering collaboration between academic research and real-world systems development.
By hosting the Spring Meetup with Université Grenoble Alpes, the Xen Project strengthens ties between industry, academia, and the open-source community. The university setting provides an ideal environment for technical exchange while keeping the event accessible to students, researchers, and practitioners alike.
