The advantages of studying samples of supernova remnants in external galaxies will be discussed. A summary of how the remnants can be used to infer starformation rates in starburst galaxies will be given, as will the use of these remnants to probe the interstellar medium of these galaxies on parsec scales. Widefield EVN and Global VLBI measurements of remnants in the nearby starburst in M82 will be described in detail, and recent expansion velocity measurements described. The similarity between the strongest compact source in M82 and the objects recently discovered in Arp220 will be noted. The sensitivity limitations of this work will be discussed and the prospects for studies of more distant objects using Square Kilometer Array considered.
