In occasion of the visit to Garching of the European VLBI Network (EVN) Program Committee next June, we have organized a Mini-symposium on VLBI and high-resolution astronomy in the next decade.
 
This is intended as an opportunity for the whole Garching/Munich astronomical community (young postdocs and students in particular) to familiarize with Very Long-Baseline Interferometry and very high resolution Radio astronomy, as well as a chance to discuss about the future developments in the field, including, in particular, possible synergies with ongoing projects developed in the Garching area.
 
The meeting will be held at MPE in the Old Seminar Room (209) from 13:30 till 17:30 on Thursday, June 26.

The text of the first announcement can be found here .

The (provisional) Abstract booklet can be found here (.pdf file) .
