The *14th European VLBI Network (EVN) Symposium and Users Meeting* will
be hosted by the Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia-CSIC *in Granada
(Spain)* on behalf of the EVN Consortium Board of Directors. The meeting
will take place *on October 8-11, 2018 *at the main auditorium of the
Parque de las Ciencias of Granada, the science museum of the city,
within walking distance from the historic areas of Granada.

This biennial meeting is the main forum for discussion of the latest
very long baseline interferometric scientific results and technical and
technological developments within the EVN member countries. At this
meeting there will also be a chance for user input into the future
Science Vision for the EVN.

*TOPICS* to be discussed include:

*   -Powerful AGN science*
*   -Starburst galaxies, extragalactic masers, and supernovae*
*   -Stellar evolution and stellar masers*
*   -Transient sources and pulsars*
*   -Astrometric, geodetic & space applications*
*   -VLBI technology developments*
*   -Users feedback*
*   -Current and future VLBI facilities and international cooperation*

Moreover, the meeting *WILL ALSO FOCUS* on the role of EVN on:

*    - Very-high sensitivity VLBI with SKA*
*    - Future multi-wavelength and multi-messenger astronomy including
high angular-resolution astronomy at other wavelengths*

*CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS* include:

*- Anna Bartkiewicz (Stellar evolution and stellar masers)*
*   - Marica Branchesi (Multi messenger astronomy)*
*   - Heino Falcke (The Event Horizon Telescope)*
*   - Cristina Garcia-Miro (Very-high sensitivity VLBI with SKA) *
*   - Jose-Luis Gomez (Powerful AGN science)*
*   - Jose-Carlos Guirado (Synergies with high-resolution IR-optical
interferometry)*
*   - Benito Marcote (Fast radio bursts)*
*   - Monica Orienti (Synergies between VLBI and CTA)*
*   - Maria Rioja (Techniques and applications of high accuracy astrometry)*
*   - Eskil Varenius (Starburst galaxies, extragalactic masers and
supernovae)*

The next *RELEVANT DATES* regarding the Symposium are:

*- Deadline for abstract submission: May 25, 2018*
*- Deadline for reduced registration fee: August 1, 2018*
A *CASA-VLBI tutorial *has been organized by JIVE for the late afternoon
of October 11th, 2018 (15:30h to 16:30h). Separate registration will be
required soon for interested participants.

The *REDUCED CONFERENCE FEE* (290€) includes admission to all scientific
sessions and conference materials, welcome reception, coffee breaks and
lunches during the meeting (Monday to Thursday), and conference dinner.

If needed, *FUNDING SUPPORT* from RadioNet can be requested through the
registration form to get part of the traveling and/or accommodation
expenses reimbursed. The SOC will decide about the distribution of the
funding among the applicants proposing a contribution. Application by
early-stage researchers is encouraged.

The weather and the city environment in Granada is typically excellent
for the period selected for the conference. A number of social
activities have been organized, including (among others) a welcome
reception at Nazari Palace "Cuarto Real de Santo Domingo" (October 7th,
evening), a visit to the historic Alhambra Palaces and Gardens (October
9th, evening), a visit to the IRAM 30m millimeter Radiotelescope
(October 10th, afternoon; if weather allows), and the conference dinner
in the historic rooms of Santa Paula Palace (October 10th, evening).
