The 2010 JBCA Symposium will take place in the Lecture Room at Jodrell Bank Observatory on Wednesday 16th June 2010.
About the Symposium
The Symposium is a day-long event comprising a series of brief talks covering the wide range of research carried out at JBCA. It is a great opportunity to give a good introduction for recent arrivals, to update people within JBCA on the recent results in your group, and to identify possibilities for collaboration between different research groups. The previous one was in 2008.
Weather permitting, we will attempt a JBCA group photo under the Lovell Telescope towards the end of the lunch break.
The symposium is being organized by Mykola Gordovskyy, Gemma Janssen, Mike Peel and Cristobal Espinoza.
