The Fourth China-U.S. Workshop on Radio Astronomy Science and Technology:

October 14-16, 2015

Shanghai Astronomical Observatory

Shanghai, China

NRAO and the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) are organizing the fourth in a series of China-U.S. radio astronomy workshops, titled "Scientific and Technical Drivers for the Next Generation of Radio Telescopes." The workshop will be held at SHAO in Shanghai from October 14-16, 2015.

The purpose of the workshop is to build and strengthen collaborations between the US and Chinese radio astronomy communities. The workshop will feature talks on both science and instrumentation, with a focus on projects that will feed into the next generation of radio astronomy facilities, including FAST as well as ngVLA and future VLBI capabilities.

Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.
