After four years of concentrated effort in SKA development, the European Community programme SKADS, funded under the Sixth Framework Programme will have a final conference, board meeting, and controller meeting to summarise the achievements of the past four years. This will also be a forum for discussion of the continuing SKA development activities of the Aperture Array Verification Programme.
