- Support was provided by WP4 for the workshop “The Growing Demand on Connectivity and Information Processing in RadioAstronomy from VLBI to SKA” (VLBI2SKA) in Aveiro, Portugal, in May.
- The NEXPReS display was installed at the VLBI2SKA workshop . Efforts have been made to send the display to other major astronomy and networking conferences, but exhibit and shipping costs were prohibitively expensive.
- Brochures were on exhibit at VLBI2SKA (Aveiro, May), EGI User Forum (Vilnius, April 2011), TNC2011 (Prague, May 2011) and EUNIS (Dublin, June 2011).
- Although not an official NEXPReS deliverable, the Public Outreach Office has been working this quarter on a video that will, among other things, provide a visual explanation of e-VLBI which can be used in presentations and other outreach activities.
