On the morning of the 14th, an Open Session will be held that consists of reports and updates on the various aspects of ATNF operations. All users are welcome to attend this Open Session. An agenda for the Open Session is now available on the ATUC web page. In the afternoon and on the 15th, ATUC hold a closed session, during which a report to the ATNF Director is drafted.
