IPTA Catch-up meeting 2020

A virtual meeting instead of the in-person IPTA 2020 conference

UTC: 22nd and 23rd September

The IPTA 2020 in-person meeting has been postponed until 2021. Instead we will hold a short, virtual “catch-up” meeting.

Dates, Times and Presentations

Links will be provided here to recordings of each of the presentations.

Joining the meeting

Zoom details have been sent by email. Please discuss the live presentations and the contributed talks/posters/pdfs on the IPTA slack channel at #ipta_virtual_meeting_2020 and #talks. Please check your email for details on how to join this channel.

Contributed presentations, posters and discussion

Any IPTA member may record a short (<10 minute) presentation or submit slides or a poster. These talks will be made available here.
