DESCRIPTION:\n\nScientific rationale:\n\nRecent developments have pushed t
 he limits of resolution in astrophysics to new frontiers. Very-long-baseli
 ne interferometry (VLBI) at millimetre wavelengths or using antennas in sp
 ace yields resolutions down to tens of microarcseconds (that is\, fraction
 s of nanoradians). These observations probe compact objects such as the in
 nermost regions of active galactic nuclei. Space VLBI is living a new era 
 at present with the results from the RadioAstron mission\, enhancing radio
  interferometry in terms of resolution at least one order of magnitude wit
 h respect to ground-based VLBI. Millimetre VLBI also brings radio interfer
 ometry to a new range of resolution and with much enhanced sensitivity due
  to improvements in data bit rate. With more antennas capable of VLBI at 3
 -mm wavelength\, and successful observations being carried out at 1-mm\, a
  new window is open to universe at unprecedented resolution. This workshop
  will review recent results on high resolution radio astronomy\, including
  opportunities provided by new antennas becoming available. It will also d
 iscuss on the applications of high-resolution imaging techniques and the s
 ynergies in the study of compact objects by space and mm-VLBI together. \
 n\nContributions to the workshop will be published online in this webpage\
 ; no regular proceedings are planned.  Abstracts will be sent to the Astr
 ophysical Data System.\n\nScientific Organising Committee:\n\nE. Ros (MPIf
