The talk will include some historical notes on development of Radio Astronomy in New Zealand, and a report on a modern status of radio telescopes and major directions of research, as well as Astronomy teaching in New Zealand. New Zealand participation in international collaborations in radio astronomy, as well as in multinational networks of radio telescopes, using VLBI and Space VLBI will be outlined. Our recent results on study of radio recombination lines (RRL) in galactic nebulae will be presented. This study addresses a long time "mystery" -- an old problem of narrowing high-order RRL in radio spectrum of the Orion nebula. We show that the "narrowing" is an apparent effect. Our conclusion is supported by both theoretical modelling and observations. Our observational data allows measuring the large-scale expansion of the Orion nebula, the object in the champagne phase of its evolution.

In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.
Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.
