The 17th EISCAT Symposium and 42nd Atmospheric Studies by Optical Methods (42AM) symposia will be hosted by the South African National Space Agency on 14-18 September 2015 in Hermanus, South Africa. Hermanus is about 120 km south-east of Cape Town, which has an international airport, and is about halfway between Cape Town and southern tip of Africa (Cape Agulhas). We plan to run the two meetings in parallel in nearby venues, with some common sessions and shared activities.
Please place mark http://events.sansa.org.za/eiscat-42am [events.sansa.org.za] in your web browser. Further information will appear on this web site soon. I have been very busy scouting conference venues, restaurants and touristic activities, e.g. penguin colony, whale watching, vineyards etc. Progress is limited to how much wine I can drink in one day. It is a tough job, but somebody has to do it!
Please let me have the names and emails of anybody who you think has an interest in attending, especially new persons or students. I have cleaned the email list. If you receive this email more than once, please let me know.
Please put these dates into your diaries. You are all most welcome.
