This week the ATNF Science group held a three-day retreat to review what it is we do, and how we might do it better, with a view to the ATNF of the future, in the SKA Era. In addition to the ATNF Science team, representatives from Engineering, Software, Operations, and Communications teams were invited to provide a broader perspective on the topics discussed. The retreat was held as a hybrid event, with the in-person group “meeting in the middle” — halfway between their east- and west-coast homes — in South Australia, and the on-line attendees having some sessions dedicated to virtual attendees, and other sessions combined with the in-person group. Feedback from participants was very positive!
