years since 2002. The meeting will be held in person. The rationale for the topic is the clear and exciting cross-section between strains of research on compact sources, the ever more sensitive telescopes we are using to study them, and the growth in new techniques
to obtain data of the highest quality. 2022 also marks the year in which construction of phase 1 of the Square Kilometre Array begins in earnest. We aim to bring together experts in Pulsars, Fast Radio Bursts, and other astrophysical transients, to discuss
new results from the world's leading telescopes leading up to SKA, such as MeerKAT, ASKAP, LOFAR, CHIME, VLA and others, highlighting the key role of high-energy instruments and addressing the ever growing importance of multi-messenger astrophysics. On the
technical side, we will concentrate on emerging techniques for timing and high time-resolution imaging, discuss new and promising algorithms for extracting information from the data, and address observing techniques with modern telescopes.</span></p>

for dates. Our target week will be 6-12 June, 2022, with a back-up option of 5-11 September, 2022. We will aim for a go/no-go decision on the target date by mid March 2022. We will remain flexible with arrangements to accommodate any last minute issues and
changes.</span></p>
