TOOLS 2020, Tools for High Energy Physics and Cosmology, will be a hybrid in-person/online event at the Institut de Physique des 2 Infinis de Lyon (IP2I), Lyon, France, from Nov 2-6, 2020.

This workshop aims to review the state-of-the-art tools for high energy physics and cosmology.

The workshop consists of short sessions over 5 days together with software demo and several discussion sessions.

The following themes will be covered at the workshop:

Higgs and Collider physics

Dark matter

Cosmology

Flavour physics and precision tests

General tools (Fitting tools, recast tools, spectrum generators, etc...)

The program will consist of both invited talks and contributed talks. All the talks will be online (via zoom) but participants from close-by institutions are welcome to participate in person (please contact the organisers for travel funds).

All the talks will be recorded and made available online so that participants from different time zones will have the possibility to follow the talks.
