RADIO HALOS OF GALAXIES program
CHANG-ES
Holiday Inn (Downtown/waterfront, Bellevue Ballroom), Kingston, Ontario, July 20-25, 2014
The Bellevue Ballroom will be divided into two sections, one for more formal talks and the adjacent side for informal discussions and workshops. All events will be held at this location unless otherwise indicated.
Talks are typically 25 minutes + 5 minutes for questions. Invited talk is 50 minutes + 10 minutes for questions.
Please note that this schedule is meant to accommodate our members and can be changed (please send an email) with the exception of the Events. This year's meeting is intended to focus on new CHANG-ES results, future scientific directions and concrete plans for data dissemination.
Talks and activities in boldface are open to non-members of the consortium. All other items are CHANGES specific and will be open to members only.
If you are a non-member and would like to participate in the open talks, please register.
