Forward Look

• CESRA summer school “Radio Physics of the Sun and the Interplanetary Medium” 2010(4-5 days)
  • RadioNet contribution in present budget: Euros 6250
  • RadioNet WP4 contact: K-L Klein.
  • Venue under investigation (e.g. Nancay, France; Sep or Oct 2010)
  • SOC H. Aurass (Potsdam), K.-L. Klein (Meudon & Radionet; chair), A. MacKinnon (Glasgow), V. Melnikov (Nizhnyi Novgorod), A. Nindos (Ioannina), S. Poedts (Leuven ; European Solar Phys Div of EPS), S. Pohjolainen (Turku)
  • The School will cover key subjects in solar radio physics and physics of the Sun-Earth conection such as emission mechanisms, magnetic fields in the corona and their role in energy storage and release. Observing and data processing techniques will encompass a frequency range from sub-mm to m waves and longer, using ground-based and space borne observations.
• ERIS 2010 - mainly mm-wave interferometry - IRAM and ALMA.
  • RadioNet contribution in present budget: Euros 22320 K
  • RadioNet WP4 contact: P Cox
  • Venue: Grenoble (September or October)
• YERAC 2010
  • RadioNet contribution in present budget: Euros 8930
  • RadioNet WP4 contact: A M S Richards
  • Local contact: P Colomer
  • Venue: Alcala de Henares, near Madrid and Yebes, Spain
  • See http://www.yerac.org/ for developments
• Windfall support. The total cost to RadioNet of events organised by WP4 in 2009 is approx. 10k Euro less than originally allowed (subject to final accounts). This allows us to support other training events in 2010, e.g. 1-2k Euro per event. Requests for support for CASA training events should be made to Martin Zwaan at ESO, who will decide priority and pass the requests on. A similar central person is needed for LOFAR. Other requests can come to WP4 via me directly. So far, I know of two CASA events and one LOFAR event planned.
• 2011 Single Dish school
• 2011 ERIS provisionally ASTRON or JIVE
• 2011 YERAC provisionally Manchester
