So, please let others know about the workshop. The agenda will be arranged so that attending only the first day would be fruitful - for those who are unable to stay the second day. Workshop on GAIA photometry --------------------------- Place: Copenhagen University Observatory Juliane Maries Vej 30, DK-2100 Copenhagen Time: Wednesday 21 March 9:00 to 22 March 14:00 Some expected PARTICIPANTS with initials: Audrius Bridzius (ABri), Vladas Vansevicius (VV) from Vilnius, Algis Kazlauskas (AK) from Vilnius, Lennart Lindegren from Lund, and Chris Flynn (CFl) from Turku, Anthony Brown (ABro) from ESO-Garching, Dafydd W.
