The TANGO software developed at ESRF in collaboration with several other scientific institutions in Europe has been selected as the control system for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), the largest radio telescope that will be built in 2020+ in South Africa and Australia. In this framework, ESRF and SKA France, the academic and private partnership coordinating the activities towards a French participation to the SKA, organize a meeting to discuss the future TANGO-related activities and developments of interest for the SKA and radio astronomical applications.
