(BIGCAT). To capture the science requirements for this upgrade we are holding a workshop on the 11th & 12th of March (1-4pm AEDT/10am-1pm AWST). This workshop will consist of a series of short science talks presenting possible science cases for BIGCAT, and
discussions around the data format/processing requirements and commissioning plans. The meeting will be entirely online, with Webex links emailed to registered participants prior to the meeting. </span></span></div>

a title and few sentences about your proposed talk. We are looking for science use cases that could stretch the BIGCAT system to enable us to make informed decisions on the system design to make it suitable for as many future science cases as possible. </span></div>
