Matthias Schartner attending workshop on Zugspitze
Last week, Matthias had the opportunity to attend a workshop on "Science and Technology with the Wetterstein Millimeter Telescope (WMT)" at the Umweltforschungsstation Schneefernerhaus, located 2650 meters above sea level on the Zugspitze (Germany).
The workshop took place on June 23rd and 24th at an amazing conference venue.
One of the most exciting aspects of the workshop was the shared determination to establish an 18-meter radio telescope at this remarkable location as part of the ngVLA . This is huge, not just in sheer size but also for science and in terms of engineering. The workshop was featured by excellent talks on the groundbreaking research such an instrument could enable, with contributions from a wonderfully diverse group of presenters.
Matthias represented the geodetic and astrometric VLBI community and shared some of the exciting science opportunities that lie ahead.
