-====== Internationalisation ======
+====== International stations ======
+LOFAR attracts a growing community that also would like to contribute to the LOFAR adventure. This is the general information page for the (potential) international partners of LOFAR.
+===== General Information - Site Requirements =====
+A document has been drafted detailing the site requirements, the placement and the layout of a LOFAR station on an LOFAR site in countries outside the Netherlands (stations in the Netherlands have a different layout). This document tries to address a lot of questions that we are frequently asked.
+  * {{:public:2008-11-24_doc_lofar_srs_019_iss1rev5_int-site.pdf|International Site Requirement Document}}  (living document, last update November 25, 2008)

+===== International partners =====
+At the moment, there are the following countries planning to add station to LOFAR or have them already funded:
+  * Germany - Six stations funded and completed (Effelsberg, Garching, Potsdam, Tautenburg, Juelich, Hamburg [DE601,DE602, DE603, DE604, DE605, DE609)
+  * UK - One station funded and completed (Chilbolton) [UK608]
+  * France - One station funded and completed (Nancay) [FR606]
+  * Sweden - One station funded and completed (Onsala) [SE607]
+  * Finland - One prototype-station funded and completed (Kilpisjärvi) for ESICAT testing, not ILT condected [Kaira]
+  * Poland - Three stations funded and completed (Lazy near Krakow, Baldy near Olsztyn, Borowiec near Poznan) [PL610, PL611, PL612]
+  * Ireland - One funded and completed [IE613]
+  * Latvia - One station funded and completed [LV614]
+  * Italy - One station planned
+On Google Maps that looks like (//green//: funded station, //yellow//: funded but no place found yet, //red//: planned station):
