I.A.U. symposium No. 110 on VLBI and Compact Radio Sources was held
in Bologna, Italy from June 27 to July 1, 1983. 166 participants
from 19 countries were registered and 106 invited and contributed
papers were registered. The scientific presentations and discussion
concentrated on VLBI observation and interpretation of galactic and
extragalactic radio sour ces, including topics as diverse as
quasars and galactic nuclei, inter stellar masers, pulsars, and
astrometry. Geodetic applications and tech nical development were
treated only briefly, as these topics have been the subject of
other recent international symposia. Since the first VLBI
observations in 1967, sensitivity, resolution, and image quality
have improved dramatically. Radio maps shown at the symposium were
of comparable quality to conventional synthesis maps be ing made at
the time of the first VLBI experiments 15 years ago, but with a
resolution more than a factor of 1000 better. We wanted to
accommodate the large number of contributed papers in this rapidly
developing field, but there was inadequate time for normal oral
presentations and discussion. We therefore asked that all contrib
uted papers be put on display for at least 24 hours prior to a
brief oral summary. A question and discussion period followed
groups of oral pres entations on the same or similar topic. In this
way the opportunity for interactive discussion, not available in
conventional poster displays, was preserved."
