ASTRON & RadioNet @ IAU XXVII General Assembly

Submitter: Femke Boekhorst
Description: From 3-14 August, ASTRON participated in the XXVIIth International Astronomical Union (IAU) General Assembly in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. During this event, ASTRON was clearly visible on the exhibition with its booth. Aiming at more name recognition, ASTRON offered visitors of the conference a lot of information about the institute. Visitors had the chance to talk to ASTRON staff about ASTRON's core activities and pick up brochures at the booth, among which a flyer with the current open positions in the Astronomy Group. The 'greetings from Rio!' postcards and ASTRON pens went especially well and were also well liked by the conference staff!

Also RadioNet FP7, coordinated by ASTRON, was presented at the IAU. Conference participants had the chance to get to know the various radio telescope facilities of RadioNet, its research activities and networking activities. The Trans National Access program of RadioNet was also of great interest to many (radio) astronomers. Besides that, there was a significant interest in education material from all over the world. Last but not least, the RadioNet pens and postcards of various RadioNet telescopes were also very popular.
