The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) is a new generation of distributed electronic radio telescope based on aperture array technology and working in the frequency range of 30-240 MHz. Designed and developed by ASTRON, the giant telescope will be completed in 2010. The Key Science Projects being addressed by the project include: deep, wide-field cosmological surveys, radio transients, the epoch of re-ionisation and cosmic ray studies. The International LOFAR Telescope comprises 36 antenna stations in the Netherlands with an additional 8 stations located in France, Germany, Sweden and the UK. Each station is about the size of a football field!

The formal inauguration of the International LOFAR Telescope will take place on the 12th of June 2010, in Exloo, near to the core of the huge telescope array.

For this exciting and unique event all ISKAF2010 participants are invited.
