At the end of 2024, the EISCAT Scientific Association transferred all their assets into a limited liability company EISCAT AB, which was founded on 25th November 2024. The Scientific Association will formally be closed later this year after the books for 2024 are closed and approved by the EISCAT Council. It is foreseen that EISCAT AB will continue the work of the Association in a way that, for the EISCAT users, in much the same way as before. However, due to legal requirements, the governance of EISCAT AB will differ from the Association, and we will outline the most relevant differences.

Furthermore, we will give an update on the status of the legacy systems UHF, VHF, ESR, and Heating. We will discuss the current status of the deployment of EISCAT_3D and speculate on what users may expect in 2025.
