The Laboratoire
d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux (LAB) at the University of Bordeaux, France, will
host the 19th European VLBI for Geodesy and Astrometry (EVGA) Working Meeting
and the 10th Analysis Workshop of the International VLBI Service for Geodesy
and Astrometry (IVS) on March 24-26, 2009. The purpose of the EVGA meeting is to
report the latest results on astrometric and geodetic VLBI research, including
technical developments, applications to geophysics and astrophysics, and the
future perspective of VLBI. The IVS Analysis Workshop will be specifically
focused on the discussion of current and future IVS products. Colleagues
working in all fields of geodetic and astrometric VLBI, from around the world,
are invited to attend these meetings and present their activities.
In addition, a specific session will be held to celebrate the 10th Anniversary
of the IVS during the afternoon of March 25. This session, with only invited
talks, will address IVS history and the synergy between IVS and the other space
geodetic techniques and VLBI networks.
Meetings from the IVS Working Group on data structure and the IVS/IERS Working
Group on the next realization of the International Celestial Reference Frame
(ICRF) will also take place during the same week, along with the Directing
Board of the IVS. See below for the detailed schedule for these events.
