Seminars Given at ING

Visiting observers are politely invited to give a seminar at ING. Talks usually take place in the sea level office in the afternoon and last for about 30 minutes plus time for questions afterwards. Astronomers from ING and other institutions on site are invited to assist. Please contact Danny Lennon(djl@ing.iac.es) and visit this URL: http://www.ing.iac.es/Astronomy/science/seminars.html, for more details. These were the seminars given in the last 18 months:
