TRACC Collaboratory

The TRACC Collaboratory is available to TRACC collaborators, USDOT partners and Argonne National Laboratory divisions/groups. The TRACC Collaboratory provides space for meetings, workshops, seminars and training classes. The TRACC Collaboratory resources can enrich the meeting experience for all participants. Events that benefit from sharing both audio/video and data among geographically distributed participants are prime applications for the technologies available at TRACC. The TRACC resources allow multiple participants to meet without having to physically travel to one specific site, thus making efficient use of time and travel. The TRACC Collaboratory can accommodate a variety of differently equipped sites to facilitate collaborative sessions.

The TRACC Collaboratory expert staff is available to assist you in planning your event.
