MOCA (Meeting Oas CtA) is a bi-monthly event that aims to bring together researchers and students from the Bologna area (OAS/IRA/DIFA/CTA HQ) involved in the very-high-energy astrophysics research field.
During the meetings, people can informally present their work and discuss current and future developments (with a particular focus on the CTA).
Meetings are held on Wednesdays in Room 409 on the second floor of the OAS Institute via Gobetti 101, Area della Ricerca CNR.
