Dear colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce the eighth incarnation of Science at Low 
Frequencies (SALF) VIII, which will be held online from the 6th to the 
9th of December, 2021.

The format will feature 2-hour blocks distributed every 8 hours to allow 
most people in the world to participate in person in a somewhat 
favourable time zone. All talks will be recorded, so you can also peruse 
the presentations afterwards. There will also be a Slack channel 
dedicated to the meeting to encourage conversations to extend over the 
different time zones. An online social event will also be encouraged 
mid-way through the meeting.

Thanks to several low-frequency telescopes maturing in their scientific 
output, the low-frequency radio astronomy community has been developing 
rapidly. In particular, there is a large amount of effort going into 
all-sky surveys and towards studying/detecting the Epoch of 
Reionisation, transients, pulsars, exoplanets, and radio stars as well 
as studies of active galactic nuclei, solar physics, and space physics. 
With the next generation low-frequency telescopes in mind, we also need 
to understand the achievements and challenges presented by the existing 
telescopes. SALF VIII is to act as the premier forum to share scientific 
results and techniques for low-frequency astronomy.
