suggestions on how to improve services, and get advice for your
projects.

coffee or tea and have a chat. It doesn’t matter from which institute or
university you are, you are **welcome to join at any time**.

open question and answer session.

We can talk about: - Problems/questions regarding the Star
shutdown and migration - Questions regarding data storage and
management - Help with programming and software management - Help with
project organization and data management - Anything else If you think
you might have a challenging question or topics for us, you can also
