Purpose

In recent years, studies of fast radio bursts (FRBs) have been attracting a lot of attention, especially due to the observational challenges of localization of their origin. Recently the Taiwanese FRB community launched a new FRB telescope project in Taiwan: the Bustling Universe Radio Survey Telescope in Taiwan (BURSTT), led by Prof. Ue-Li Pen from the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, ASIAA in Taiwan. The BURSTT project is a collaboration of Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA), National Chung-Hsing University (NCHU), National Taiwan University (NTU), and National Tsing-Hua University (NTHU). Therefore, we hope that this conference would also be an ideal place to discuss future collaborations among FRB facilities to maximize the science outcome in the coming years.
