A new assessment of the first years of Horizon 2020, the EU's research and innovation programme, shows that it is on track to help create jobs and growth, tackle our biggest societal challenges and improve people's lives. Horizon 2020 has clear European added value by producing demonstrable benefits compared to national or regional-level support, but [...]
The workshop covers science topics that can be addressed using HI absorption (intervening and associated), including what we can learn about the feedback effects of AGNs on galaxy evolution, the properties of the ISM of galaxies at higher redshift, and the cosmic evolution of HI. The aim is to discuss the current state of affairs [...]
About every 5 years in the village of Kerastari (Greece) experts in radio astronomy from all around the world meet to discuss their latest scientific discoveries and astronomical techniques. Today starts the workshop to explore how radio astronomy has enabled flexible processing environments that are opening new windows on the Universe (discovery of FRBs is [...]
The RadioNet community has passed one year without external funding, during which the most crucial activities, such as Transnational Access to infrastructures and networking activities, such as the YERAC conference, could still be ensured. Moreover, during that year, the executives proposed a continuation of the RadioNet funding to the EC. This proposal has been successful [...]
The Technical and Operations Group (TOG) is made up of the personnel at the European VLBI Network (EVN) stations who provide the technical and operational expertise for operating the EVN as a VLBI array. The GMVA Technical Group (GTG) provide service to Global Millimetre VLBI Array (GMVA), which combines European and US telescopes, and ALMA [...]
Following several years of development, the VLBI toolkit for the CASA package is ready to meet the users. For this purpose, JIVE is organising a RadioNet training event on 2-6 October 2017 in Dwingeloo. This will be a highly interactive workshop, where participants are trained in the use of the new tools, expected to apply them to a dataset of their [...]
Observing proposals are invited for the EVN, a VLBI network of radio telescopes spread throughout Europe and beyond, operated by an international consortium of institutes (http://www.evlbi.org/). The observations may be conducted with disk recording (standard EVN) or in real-time (e-VLBI). The EVN facility is open to all astronomers. Use of the Network by astronomers not [...]
Observing proposals are invited for the Effelsberg 100-meter Radio Telescope of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR). The Effelsberg telescope is one of the World's largest fully steerable instruments. This extreme- precision antenna is used exclusively for research in radio astronomy, both as a stand-alone instrument as well as for Very Long Baseline [...]
Seventh ERIS will provide a week of lectures and tutorials on how to achieve scientific results from radio interferometry. The topics covered by the lectures/tutorials will include: Calibration and imaging of continuum, spectral line, and polarisation data; Low-freq. (LOFAR domain), high-freq. (ALMA/IRAM domain), and VLBI-interferometry; • Extracting information from the data and interpreting the results; [...]
CRAF - Committee on Radio Astronomy Frequencies and Expert Committee of the European Science Foundation (ESF) - meets on May 3-5, 2017 at the Max-Planck-Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn and discusses how to keep radio astronomical observations free of interference. The mission of CRAF is to keep the frequency [...]
