ROE Annual International Workshop
ROE Workshop 2010
Applications of Astronomy: 13-15 October 2010
Astronomy has revolutionized our understanding of the Universe. The cutting-edge tools and techniques developed by astronomers to peer into the furthest reaches of the cosmos are now finding applications outside astronomy, ranging from devices for medical imaging through to sensors for security and defence. Astronomy technology is helping to address real-world problems here on earth.
This conference will give an overview of technologies and techniques developed in astronomy, highlight the solutions they offer for solving commercially relevant issues, and provide information and guidance on how academics and industry can collaborate to develop future applications.
Further details are available from the ROE Workshop 2010 web site.
