The technical team includes significant participation from US, Canadian, and Japanese partners.  

This workshop will be an opportunity to engage scientists from across the entire TMT collaboration to discuss scientific issues (morning session), and instrumentation issues (afternoon session).  The workshop is open to anyone wishing to participate on either the scientific or technical sides of PSI.
