Description: | The 15th (bi-annual) meeting of the physics society of Macedonia was held on September 19-22 at the University congress center nearby Ohrid, Macedonia. The program consisted of a wide variety of invited and contributed talks as well as posters, ranging from condensed matter physics to neutron star interiors. Yours truly was an invited speaker and presented on the system characteristics of LOFAR, the efforts ongoing related to the upcoming upgrade, as well as showcasing the science use cases of the array and its results over the past decade plus of operations. New collaborations were forged, and the possibility of further expanding LOFAR in the Balkans was discussed. The group photo with lake Ohrid in the background is a lasting reminder of this occasion; hopefully ASTRON will be represented in force in two years time. |
