Brandeis University, Waltham, MA

DATE Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - TIME 0900 -- 1700 (approx)

This one-day meeting is held annually in May, rotating between the five sponsoring institutions with the aim of promoting interaction and collaboration between those working on various aspects of Active Galaxies, Quasars, Jets and Microquasars from radio wavelengths to gamma rays. It is always a relaxed and highly enjoyable meeting where students and established scientists can mingle and converse, and presenters can try out new and speculative ideas. Everyone from the Boston and New England area is welcome.
