[ASA] 4 Sept. 2019: Optical Facilities Mid-Term Review Town Hall

[Andrew Hopkins]

Dear Colleagues,

  From 10am-3pm on Wed. 4 Sept. we will hold a town-hall meeting at AAO-MQ, meeting rooms 1/2 (behind reception), to discuss national priorities for optical/IR facilities to inform the decadal plan mid-term review. Remote participation by zoom will be available.

Motivation and goals:
To discuss what optical/IR instruments/facilities and projects are important to the community, to get a sense of funding envelopes and timeframes for each. To build community consensus around a prioritised list in a way that will help inform funders, including AAL, to support future planning.

Outcomes:
A report summarising the outcomes of the discussion will be shared with the Mid-Term Review committee to support and inform their work, and circulated to the community through the ASA mailing list.

A detailed schedule for the day will follow. To register your interest in attending please email Andrew Hopkins (andrew.hopkins at mq.edu.au<mailto:andrew.hopkins at mq.edu.au>) before Thu. 29 Aug.

All are welcome. There is no registration fee. Lunch will be provided.

Andrew Hopkins
