LOFAR SKP meeting

16 Dec 2019, 09:00 → 18 Dec 2019, 18:00 Europe/Rome

Aula Magna Rettorato (Torino - Italy)

The University of Turin is pleased to announce the 2019 LOFAR SKP science meeting, a three-day meeting where members of the consortium will have the opportunity to present their work and discuss collaborations on new projects.

Over the past year there has been a huge amount of progress with the LOFAR surveys project, an improved data processing pipeline and a large time allocation which will allow us to rapidly expand the survey coverage as well as to go deeper in the famous fields. It is now time to think about and discuss the next steps that can be carried out using this extensive amount of data.
