Description
One key aspect required to understand the origin of FRBs is to know the type of environment they are emitted in. Thus, not only the host galaxy of an FRB is of importance, but also the precise location within that host need to be determined to solve the FRB-puzzle. Such accurate measurements are only possible with Very Long Baseline Interferometry. I will review the cases of FRBs localised with milliarcsecond precision, describing the technique, the main results and their implications, and the future prospects.
