The Virginia Tech SuperDARN group is pleased to host the 2025 Workshop at the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center in Roanoke, Virginia, June 2 - 6. The website is now open for registration, booking rooms, and submitting abstracts. Technical and scientific sessions will be held each day with an excursion to Virginia Tech campus on Wednesday. We mark two special features of this Workshop: (i) students and early career researchers can apply to have their registration fee waived, and, (ii) a 3-day registration is available that could be particularly suitable for non-SuperDARNers who are more interested in attending the science-focused sessions on Tuesday through Thursday (all workshop activities on those days are included).
For information and links see the Workshop website: vt.superdarn.org/workshop
Regarding requests for registration fee waiver for early career attendees: Note that the request needs to be made and decided upon before registering. The timeline for this processing to be completed is relatively short (March 15). This will leave time to still register at the early bird rate (April 1).
From the website:
To encourage participation of students and early-career researchers (less than 5 years from PhD), limited funds are available to waive the cost of registration (Early bird rates: $500 for full, $375 for mid-week). The costs of traveling to the meeting and accommodation remain the responsibility of the attendee. Please fill out the form at https:forms.office.com/r/NwW6yp5jAL.
Note that an applicant needs to commit to making a presentation (oral or poster is TBD). The form will require a working title for the presentation. Optionally, the applicant can also submit a draft abstract and a list of authors with affiliations.
Review of the applications will begin March 1 and decisions regarding support will be made by March 15 (note new dates).
Questions may be directed to the organizing committee at sd-2025-g@vt.edu
