We welcomed DARA's UK, SA and African partners, together with the advanced students and the 2016-7 basic student cohort.
The purpose of this event was to help build a training and research community across the countries participating in this programme. Academic staff presented their latest work on astrophysics research or instrumentation. Talks on the status of the dishes and developments in each of the AVN partner countries will keep participants informed on AVN progress. Related developments with the MeerKAT and SKA-mid arrays will also be presented.
