20th EISCAT_3D User Meeting (2025_2)
The 20th E3D User Meeting (UM) took place on Dec 2-3 (week 49), from lunch to lunch. The UM was hybrid, i.e. physical attendance is in room Aniara at EISCAT/IRF Rymdcampus in Kiruna, and online participation via Zoom.
Subjects of presentations/discussions were E3D data analysis, new generation GUISDAP, E3D Common Programmes, and Visualization. We had the traditional scheme with short presentations followed by questions and discussion. Submissions of titles/short abstracts were welcome. The web pages of previous meetings, 19th E3D UM and 18th E3D UM and earlier, can give an impression for the arrangements and programme which include in some cases links to the presentation slides.
This postcript of the UM was last updated on Jan 5, 2026.
A next, 21st E3D User Meeting (UM) has been agreed upon. It will be held in Uppsala and online, at dates 19-20 May 2026.
