The agenda for our final team meeting in Bern, 25-29 Apr 2016, can be found here

The aim is to get several papers in shape for writing up/publication. We would like lead authors to present the key figures that they feel tell the story of the paper as much as possible, with the rest of the team providing feedback. So far we have agreed on 6 papers during our online meetings. We have also reserved time to discuss several related topics, and our new team member Jone Reistad will give a talk about his work and interests with regards to North-South asymmetries. Finally, a social activity is planned for Wed afternoon (see agenda for details). We plan to start each day around 9 am.

Guideline schedule for team meeting at SuperDARN workshop 2-3 Jun 2015: see here
