We are very excited to create a venue for the European community of users of the Python programming language in science. This conference will bring the presentations and collaboration that we've enjoyed at Caltech each year closer to home for many users of SciPy, NumPy and Python generally--with a similar focus and schedule.

This conference provides a unique opportunity to learn and affect what is happening in the realm of scientific computing with Python. Attendees will have the opportunity to review the available tools and how they apply to specific problems. By providing a forum for developers to share their Python expertise with the wider commercial, academic, and research communities, this conference fosters collaboration and facilitates the sharing of software components, techniques and a vision for high level language use in scientific computing. For a little more background on what happens at a SciPy Conference, please see some notes from previous meetings.
