Workshop

Participation of the SKACH community in early science with SKA will be essential to prepare for future key science projects, both in terms of building a hands-on data processing track record and stress-testing local support infrastructures like the chSRC.
I will organise a mini-workshop to get participants of the SKA Days to brainstorm about targets for SKA-LOW science verification (SV)....
