The Korean VLBI Network (KVN, http://kvn.kasi.re.kr/) invites scientific proposals for VLBI observations during the 2016A season from Astronomers over the world. Observations of successful proposals will be scheduled between 15th January 2016 and 15th June 2016. Proposals should be emailed to kvnprop [at] kasi [dot] re [dot] kr before the deadline of UT 08:00 (KST17:00) on 2nd November 2015

Observing proposals are invited for the EVN, a VLBI network of radio telescopes spread throughout Europe and beyond, operated by an international consortium of institutes (http://www.evlbi.org/). The observations may be conducted with disk recording (standard EVN) or in real-time (e-VLBI). The EVN facility is open to all astronomers. Use of the Network by astronomers not specialised in the VLBI technique is encouraged. The Joint Institute for VLBI ERIC (JIVE) can provide support and advice on project preparation, scheduling, correlation and analysis. See EVN User Support at http://www.jive.eu.

Final reminder of up-coming RadioNet3 Technical Workshop: "Multi-Frequency mm-wave Radio Telescopes & Other Software Controlled Operations" in Florence, October 5-7, 2015. The Workshop is open for registration until 1st September

Recently several engineers broke the 1 Tbps barrier within the UniBoard2 project! UniBoard2, an activtiy which is part of the RadioNet3 project aims to create a FPGA-based, generic, scalable, high-performance computing platform for radio-astronomical applications. The innovative re-designed second generation builds upon the experience obtained through the UniBoard project and will be ready for the next generation of astronomical instruments (notably the SKA), at the end of 2015.
