Calling all young European radio astronomers!
10 March 2010
YERAC, the Young European Radio Astronomers' Conference, has been held annually since 1968, circulating around Europe. 20 years ago, in 1990, it was held in Guadalajara (Spain), organised by the National Astronomical Observatory (OAN-IGN).
The main idea behind YERAC is to bring together graduate students and early career radio astronomers to present their work and make contact with their peers. Both scientists and engineers are encouraged to attend. The sessions are exclusively for students/postdocs talks and posters, although a few more experienced researchers are present to answer questions and hold a surgery on presentation techniques or other assistance as required.
This year, 2010, is special because the 40º edition of YERAC is held. Spain hosts it in Alcalá de Henares, birth-city of Cervantes, organised by OAN-IGN on July 5-8 2010. A special celebration is planned and a visit to Yebes Observatory, where a 40-m radio telescope has been recently built.
Directors (of observatory, university group, etc.) are to nominate their students, and a letter of support is required. The conference costs are partially supported by RADIONET FP7. If you need financial support, please indicate so during registration.
