The Virginia Tech SuperDARN group is pleased to host the 2025 Workshop at the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center in Roanoke, Virginia, June 2 - 6. The website is now open for registration, booking rooms at the special discount rate and submitting abstracts.
Technical and scientific sessions will be held each day with an excursion to Virginia Tech campus on Wednesday. We mark two special features of this Workshop: (i) students and early career researchers can apply to have their registration fee waived, and, (ii)
a 3-day registration is available that could be particularly suitable for non-SuperDARNers who are more interested in attending the science-focused sessions on Tuesday through Thursday (all workshop activities on those days are included). </div>

<b>Regarding requests for registration fee waiver for early career attendees</b>: The request needs to be made and decided upon
<b>before </b>registering. The timeline for this processing to be completed is relatively short (March 15). This will leave time to still register at the early bird rate (April 1). From the Workshop website:</div>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><i>To encourage participation by students and early-career researchers (less than 5 years from award of PhD), limited funds are available to waive the cost of registration (Early bird rates: $500 for full, $375 for mid-week).
