Workshop on the Network for Ultraviolet Astronomy (NUVA) - 2025

Purpose and scope

The Network for UltraViolet Astrophysics (NUVA), is a pan-European network set-up to identify the needs of the astronomical community in the UV domain and eventually propose actions to structure it around new projects.
