Workshop Announcement: The Future of High-Resolution Radio Interferometry in Space - Noordwijk, The Netherlands, Sep 5 and  6, 2018

The main goal of this workshop is to identify the science case for a next generation space radio interferometry mission. Such a mission should offer unique opportunities for studies of extreme physical phenomena with unprecedented image resolution and quality.

The deadline for proposal submission for Cycle 6 was 19 April 2018. 1838 proposals were submitted, including 18 Large Programmes. This is a further increase on the 1661 proposals received for Cycle 5. The oversubscription rate remains high (over 6 on the 12-metre array for the European applicants). Detailed proposal submission statistics are available in a dedicated report. The report provides a summary of items such as the number of submitted proposals and time requested, subscription rates, and comparisons with the number of hours requested in previous Cycles.
