In place of an ILRS Workshop this November, the ILRS wanted to take the opportunity to try something different and look in detail at a selection of stations in the global network.
Therefore, an online 'Virtual World Tour', was held November 2-6, 2020, to virtually visit 5 stations in 5 days, stopping at:
Graz, Austria
Tour page | Station page
Zimmerwald, Switzerland
Tour page | Station page
Simosato, Japan
Tour page | Station page
Greenbelt, MD, USA
Tour page | Station page
Yarragadee, Australia
Tour page | Station page
Each two-hour session consisted of an introductory presentation about the station followed by a tour of the site highlighting instrumentation, software, safety, automation, operations, as well as current issues and future plans. These tours include a mixture of pre-recorded and live presentations with an opportunity for questions. We recorded each tour and made the videos available through the website.
Attendees were required to register for each session they planned to attend. Registration is Closed.
Logistics:
We used Microsoft Teams for these virtual meetings. More information about this software is available at:
