The International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS) holds a General Meeting every two years. The purpose of the General Meeting is to assemble representatives from all IVS components to share information, hear reports, and plan future activities. The meeting also provides a forum for interaction with other members of the VLBI and Earth science communities.
The eighth IVS General Meeting "VGOS: The New VLBI Network" will be hosted by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. All IVS Associate Members and individuals who have interests in the application of VLBI in the fields of geodesy, Earth sciences, and astrometry are invited to attend the meeting.
