Abstract
I will present the latest results associated with the major activities of ASTRON (the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy). These will include (i) the latest commissioning results from the International LOFAR Telescope, (ii) new results from APERTIF (the focal plane array system being developed for the WSRT) and (iii) the latest news regarding our participation in the Aperture Array Verification Programme (including recent results from the SKA pathfinder, EMBRACE). Key scientific results obtained by ASTRON staff will also be described, together with news on our technology valorization programme.
