Meeting

Our IMAGINE scientific meeting titled: Modelling the Galactic magnetic field, which was scheduled to take place at the Lorentz Center@Oort on 6 July - 10 July 2020 has now officially been postponed due to the current circumstances. The workshop is now scheduled to take place from 18 – 22 October 2021. In the mean time, we will run some of the workshop activities in a virtual format. Please continue to visit this page for updates. We are proposing to hold three online sessions over three weeks (tentative schedule below). In addition, we are planning to host an additional "parallel" session for each project group. A list of the current projects can be found here. Please find a preliminary project session schedule below. Closer to the date, you can expect to receive connection details via the email list. We will also post the connection details in Slack. Please join the #virtual_imagine_2020 Slack channel to receive updates. Stay tuned for further details.
