The VLBI Low Frequency Workhop was held on on 30 October and focused on Australian Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) science and its critical links to current and next-generation radio astronomy projects. This workshop fostered in-depth discussions on how current VLBI science and techniques are driving future requirements in astrophysics and how they can complement and enhance the capabilities of the Long Baseline Array (LBA), SKA-Low and SKA-Mid telescopes.
