The programme will combine current research with broader overview and methodology talks, covering radio surveys, radio AGN, galaxy clusters and diffuse radio emission, magnetic fields, polarimetry, data analysis, and emerging opportunities with modern radio facilities.

A central aim is to broaden awareness of the role radio data can play across astrophysics, particularly among researchers who do not primarily identify as radio astronomers. Several talks will therefore have a more pedagogical and introductory character, placing current results in a wider scientific context and explaining the key questions, observational approaches and methods behind them. The workshop will also provide time for discussion, exchange of expertise and the development of new collaborative projects.

The workshop is being organised within the framework of NCBJ’s Strategic Partnership programme with Leiden University, alongside a visit by radio astronomers from Leiden Observatory.
