Abstract

After a brief introduction on gravitational lenses in general I argue why LOFAR surveys can and should be utilised as a phantastic tool for future gravitational lens searches. Different strategies to find 1000-2000 new radio lenses are discussed. This is not just a dream but will happen in the near future. A small research group will be established in Bonn starting in August 2007 to work exactly on this and related projects.

This is an only slightly updated version of another talk. An even newer version can be found here.
