Description

The International Meridian Circle Program (IMCP) has made significant progress through the joint hard work of scientists from around the world. We are pleased to invite you to attend an IMCP workshop, scheduled for June 11–14, 2025, in Sichuan Province, China. 

On June 12, 2025, there will be a half-day Big Science Program session and a dedicated half-day IMCP session. During the IMCP session, we will invite close partners, collaborators, and international organizations from the relevant research fields to join us in exploring new opportunities for scientific collaboration and discovery. 

Following the session in Chengdu, Sichuan—famous for its giant pandas and cuisine—the IMCP Workshop will continue in Daocheng. Participants will visit the Solar Radio Telescope Array, a cutting-edge facility of the Chinese Meridian Project, located in Daocheng Yading, a natural wonder on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, about 800 kilometers from Chengdu.
