Please note:
Talks on Wednesday will be in the Springerzaal and are 12 + 3 minutes unless specified otherwise.
Talks on Friday will be in Room 14.
Rooms for all days will be clearly signposted at the venue.
Wednesday: Registration and Overview day.
All Science Team Leads and System Managers are requested to give short talks (to be understandable by non-experts). The aim of the first day is to ensure that everyone from the Project, Engineering and Science teams are aware of the current status of all aspects of the WEAVE Project, instrument and science goals.
Thursday: Break-out sessions day.
Engineering and Science Teams will be allocated individual rooms to enable break-out sessions. In addition, there will be extra inter-team sessions covering topics such as calibrations, sky subtraction and redshift determination. We are aware that people may wish to attend more than one parallel session, and the final programme for Thursday as well as room allocations will be decided with this in mind. STLs and SMs are strongly encouraged to communicate their plans for Thursday to the organisers as soon as possible.
Friday: Summary of break-out sessions and planning for 2018.
