The IAU calls for applications for workshops under the IAU Hands-On Workshops (I-HOW) initiative.
Motivation: Vast amounts of astronomical data are currently available in archives scattered around the world, for instance in the archives of telescopes run by big consortia, like ESO, NSF’s NOIRLab, NRAO, ALMA, ATCA, LOFAR, etc., or space missions developed by NASA and ESA, or by national space agencies like JAXA, ISRO, etc.
The I-HOW is an initiative to train young scientists in developing countries in accessing, analysing and using those data for their research projects.
The call for workshops in 2025-2026 has opened on the 15 June 2024.
Submission deadline: 31 August 2024.
