First NRAO EVLA Advisory Committee Meeting

Date: June 10-11, 2002

Location: AOC in Socorro, New Mexico

 

 

We invite and encourage the community to contact any of the NRAO/EVLA Advisory committee members, if there are concerns about the EVLA.  The committee membership list with accompanying contact information is found  at the end of this page.

 

Charge of the Committee

An advisory committee consisting of experienced scientists and engineers from outside of the NRAO will advise the NRAO Director on the scientific and technical priorities of the Project. Membership will include representation from the partner countries. This committee will be convened by the Project Scientist and will be chaired by one of its members and will meet once or twice a year. An important function of this committee will be oversight of the software aspects of the EVLA Project, so committee members will be chosen to provide expertise with astronomical software systems.
