In the spirit of bringing our astronomers and engineers closer together, the AFNA organisers are delighted to open up our speaker lineup to our engineering colleagues. We are therefore thrilled to host our first session in this new format next Thursday, 16th April, with a presentation by Alex Urban, an electronics engineer at ESO.
An astronomy talk for non-astronomers is scheduled for next week on 16 April, from 12:00 to 13:00 CEST, as a hybrid meeting in the Eridanus auditorium and online.
