Event Overview
We are pleased to announce a landmark radio astronomy science meeting designed to highlight the complementarity and synergies between the two premier radio telescopes of the 21st century – the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and the next generation Very Large Array (ngVLA). To be held in Vancouver, Canada at the Pan Pacific Hotel the week of 1 May 2023, this meeting will review, discuss, and extend the cutting-edge science opportunities enabled by the unprecedented SKA-ngVLA coverage across three decades of radio frequency (50 MHz to 116 GHz). Plenary talks will feature the highest-priority science for these observatories, striving to determine where new scientific understandings are most likely to result from access to both observatories. Contributed talks and posters will focus on topics that highlight each facility’s strengths.
We particularly encourage the participation of early career scientists, who will be the major users of these observatories. The meeting will primarily be in person with online participation available. All talks will be recorded and made widely available during and after the meeting. It will be structured to stimulate dynamic, real-time interactions, for discussion of and planning for the science synergies that will be possible with the telescopes. Opportunities to request financial support to attend the meeting will be available, with registration fees reduced for students and postdocs.
Pan Pacific Vancouver
The ngVLA/SKA conference will take place over five days, May 1-5, 2023, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at the Pan Pacific Vancouver. Located on the majestic Vancouver waterfront it offers sweeping oceanfront and mountain views. We will meet in the heart of downtown Vancouver just steps away from restaurants, shops, and attractions.
