EPICS LogoIn order to find out what versions of EPICS are used at the different sites a query was done at tech-talk. In the following table the results of this query are summarized in the order as they have arrived. I am willing to keep this page up to date when I get new and additional input.

A list of all EPICS collaborating institutes is also available.
