Workshop Agenda

 

The 8th annual HamSCI Workshop is upon us! Join us at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in Newark, NJ, on March 14-15, 2025. We're excited to welcome you to this fast-growing meeting. Organizers have worked hard to put together a memorable two-day event.

This year's theme, "HamSCI's Big Year," celebrates the community's achievements, including the Festivals of Eclipse Ionospheric Science (FOEIS) during the 2023 annular and 2024 total solar eclipses. The workshop features nearly 50 poster and oral presentations, four HamSCI tutorials, and a keynote address by ARRL's Bob Inderbitzen (NQ1R) at the HamSCI Banquet on Friday March 14th. 

The program will focus on the latest findings, strategy, and best practices, and is designed to bring together the amateur radio community and professional scientists. Anyone interested in these subject matter topics is welcome to join.  Most speakers and attendees will participate in-person.  A virtual option is available (details forthcoming).

Connect and share ideas with scientific industry leaders, peers, experts, and partners. Learn about the latest insights and best practices across different segments of ionospheric science. Get an in-depth look at what is coming next.   Click on the 'Workshop Agenda' button for details.

HOTEL DETAILS​
 

A hotel block has been arranged at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark for March 13 - 16, 2025. The hotel is a short distance away from NJIT. Use the code NJIT HAMSCI 2025 when booking rooms. You must phone the hotel (973-622-1000) to make a reservation with the code. The cut off date for booking the hotel block is March 1, 2025.
 

TRANSPORTATION​
 

NJIT is located in Newark, NJ, a close to several major transportation hubs including Newark-Penn Station and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). For those who are flying to the HamSCI Workshop, we recommend EWR. There are other airports in the region as well including JFK International Airport and LaGuardia Airport — both in New York City. Although JFK and LaGuardia are geographically close to Newark, ground transportation to/from those airports to Newark can be complicated and time consuming.

The NJIT Campus Center is approximately a 15 minute walk from the Robert Treat Hotel. Other transportation options include the Newark Light Rail System, which has a stop at NJIT — "Warren Street/NJIT Station" and close to the Robert Treat Hotel — "Military Park Station" (see system map). There will also be a shuttle service provided by the workshop that runs between the Robert Treat Hotel and the NJIT Campus Center. More details on the shuttle service to follow.
