MWA Project Meeting: Lausanne, 2024
Overview
This year, we are very excited to hold the meeting in Switzerland, the MWA Collaboration's newest international collaborator.
Radio astronomers are invited to attend from Wednesday 28 August* to Friday 30 August 2024 at SCITAS-EPFL in Lausanne.
Our meeting will be held adjacent in time to the annual Swiss SKA Days, to take place in Geneva from 2-4 September 2024, so it will be a festival of international radio astronomy!
Details
The event will be held in-person, with remote participation facilitated online.
The Project Meeting begins on Wednesday, 28 August, starting with training in the morning exclusively for MWA Collaboration Members. Project meeting activities for both members and non-members will commence in the afternoon. In the evening, all attendees are invited to a Welcome Event: a relaxed BYOB BBQ under the arches of the Rolex Learning Centre. Food will be provided by SCITAS.
