Second Workshop on Millimeter VLBI (1999)
Granada - Spain, 27 - 29 May 1999
Following the successful worshop on mm-VLBI held in Boston 1996, we have decided to organize a Second Workshop on Millimeter VLBI, to be held in Granada/Spain from 27 May to 29 May this year. The meeting will be organized by IRAM-CMVA-MPIfR, and will include a visit to the 30-m telescope.
The workshop will concentrate mainly on technical aspects of mm-vlbi, observations and data reduction, supplemented by presentations of recent scientific results. It is intended to discuss also organisational aspects of mm-vlbi.
The number of participants is limited to 30 - 40 persons.
