U.S. Radio-Millimeter-Submillimeter Science Futures Conference Series

The NRAO is organizing a series of three conferences for the broader community to discuss potential U.S. futures for radio-millimeter-submillimeter science in the 2020’s and beyond. Funded by Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI) and the Kavli Foundation, these workshops will be structured around key science themes that reflect priorities identified in the New Worlds, New Horizons Decadal Survey, are likely to be important in the forthcoming decade, and require observations at radio-mm-submm wavelengths to be properly addressed.

The first of these meetings took place 15-17 December 2015 in Chicago at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare. The Science Organizing Committee co-chairs for this meeting were Mark Reid (CfA) and Jean Turner (UCLA).
The second of these meetings took place 3-5 August 2016 at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. The session chairs for this meeting were Zeehan Ahmed (SLAC), Eric Murphy (NRAO), Aaron Parsons (UC Berkeley), David Kaplan (UW Milwaukee), and Mark Reid (CfA).
The third, and final meeting of this series, will take place 2-4 August 2017 in Berkeley, CA.
