Dear JCMT users,

EAO/JCMT is planning to hold Virtual JCMT Users Meeting 2022 on February 24-25, 2022 in Asian time. 

The meeting will be held fully remotely via Zoom. The main purpose of the meeting is to have quick

updates of the EAO/JCMT status and science, and also to give useful information to new JCMT users 

to encourage and help them to submit JCMT observation proposals. We will also introduce new JCMT 

large programs and explain how users can participate in them. As you may remember, JCMT has very 

rich data archives, and we will remind you how users can access them for their research.
