This volume includes the proceedings of the 13th European VLBI Network Symposium and Users’ Meeting which took place in the IAA RAS, St. Petersburg, from September 20, 2016 to September 23, 2016. The conference covered a wide range of theoretical and practical issues in radio astronomy, astrophysics and space geodesy. The articles in this collection are devoted to investigations of near and far outer space using the VLBI method, to the development of modern technical means for VLBI complexes and to problems in cosmology. The collection is intended for specialists in physics and astronomy.
