Conference "The many facets of extragalactic radio surveys: towards new
scientific challenges" - Second Announcement
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear colleagues,
we invite you to register and submit an abstract for the Conference "The many facets of extragalactic radio surveys: towards new scientific challenges”, which will be held in Bologna 20-23 October 2015.
The aim of this conference - inspired by the recent celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Northern Cross Radio Telescope in Medicina (BO)- is to explore new scientific perspectives offered by modern radio surveys, focusing on synergies allowed by multi-frequency, multi-resolution observations. We aim at bringing together researchers working on wide aspects of the physics and evolution of extra-galactic radio sources, from star-forming galaxies to AGNs and clusters of galaxies, including their role as cosmological probes.
Below you can find some important information, for more details please visit
