EISCAT_3D User Meeting: Uppsala, 28-29 May 2009
May 25, 2009
Currently the EU, EISCAT, the Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory (UK), the University of Tromsø (Norway), the Luleå Technical University (Sweden), and the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (Sweden) are financing and undertaking the EISCAT-3D design study. A user meeting will take place May 28-29 in Uppsala, Sweden, in order to present the results of the Design Study to EISCAT users. We will also discuss the science applications of EISCAT-3D as well as the next steps in the project.
The workshop will have the Beurlingsroom on the ground floor of the Ångströmlaboratoriet of the Uppsala University.
