Dear all, EISCAT_3D construction is progressing well. The EISCAT Scientific Association is currently installing the EISCAT_3D antennas at the transmitter site in Skibotn, Norway and at the receiver sites in Kaiseniemi, Sweden and in Karesuvanto, Finland. The current schedule is to start EISCAT_3D operations in 2023, first in the monostatic mode. In parallel, EISCAT is planning to develop the legal status of the organisation in order to achieve long-term stability. The goal remains non-military scientific operations of the radar to study the Arctic upper atmosphere and ionosphere as well as geospace phenomena. Efforts will be made to reduce any negative impact of these changes on the EISCAT user community, allowing uninterrupted use of the facilities. Follow the updates of EISCAT_3D on https://eiscat.se/category/eiscat3d/ <https://eiscat.se/category/eiscat3d/> EISCAT Council
