This year's YERAC will be organized and sponsored by the MPI for Radioastronomy in collaboration with its IMPRS for Astronomy and Astrophysics. As in most years since 1968, early stage radioastronomers (i.e. PhD candidates and postdocs) will meet, discuss and network in a relaxed atmosphere. Each participant is given the opportunity to give an oral talk.

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are being discovered in ever-larger numbers over the whole electromagnetic spectrum. Different bands employ different methods to identify these sources but, most importantly, provide different windows on AGN physics. The infrared band is mostly sensitive to obscuring material and dust, the optical/UV band is related to emission from the accretion disk, while the X-ray band traces the emission of a (putative) corona. γ-ray and (high flux density) radio samples, on the other hand, preferentially select AGN emitting strong non-thermal radiation.

We are pleased to announce the International Conference "All-Wave Astronomy. Shklovsky-100", which will take place in Moscow, Russia, from 20 to 22 June, 2016.

The RadioNet3 newsletter is online!

ALMA Cycle 3 is underway. UK ALMA Science meetings 2016 survey. Access to ALMA Archival Data. ALMA Postdoc positions at JAO, Chile. UK ARC Facilities available for 'Busy Weeks'. News on ALMA related meetings.

Continuing on the success of the 2012/14 Ringberg meetings on APEX science where about 70 participants discussed exciting APEX results ranging from our Solar system to distant galaxies in the Early Universe, APEX2016 aims at presenting new science results and to looking into new science opportunities for the next years. Now more than 10 years in operation, the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) 12 m submillimeter telescope has significantly contributed to a wide variety of submillimeter astronomy science areas, ranging from the discoveries of new molecules to large and deep imaging of the submillimeter sky.

The talks of the ERATec meeting - Multi-frequency mm-wave radio telescopes & other software correlated operations are available in you tube. The meeting was held on October 5-7, 2015 in Florence, Italy.

We wish to inform you call for proposals of VERA; VLBI exploration of Radio Astrometry. VERA is a Japanese VLBI network, which has four 20-m stations in Japanese archipelago and aims phase referencing
and astrometry observations with 2-beam system. Deadline; November 02, 2015, 08:00 UT.

Approximately 1 year ago the Athena Science Study Team (ASST) issued a call for membership of the Athena Working Groups. To ensure that all interested scientists have an opportunity to participate in the mission, we have recently re-opened the application process at the following web site: http://fs6.formsite.com/ATHENA2028/form4/index.html

The deadline for submission of abstracts has been extended. It is now 1 November.
This year International VLBI Technology Workshop - IVTW 2015 - will be held in Auckland, New Zealand on 23-26 November. The website of the IVTW2015 is in http://www.irasr.aut.ac.nz/conferences/4th-international-vlbi-Technology... .
