Summer School for Solar Observers – A week above the clouds
Call for Applications
SOLARNET is pleased to announce its first call for proposals of its Training Programme.
Solar telescopes GREGOR and VTT
Period: 2019 (Aug 5 – Aug 9)
Registration Deadline: June 15, 2019
Email to: nbello@leibniz-kis.de
Our purpose is to instruct students and young postdocs in the capabilities and operation of the German solar facilities at the observatory, by giving them the opportunity to
- run real observations at GREGOR, the largest solar telescope in Europe
- calibrate data by learning how to use the existing data pipelines, Python and deep learning techniques
- learn how to complement ground-based observations with space-based observations
- experience the observers’ life up the mountain for a week
through different lectures and experimental activities (programme in SOLARNET webpage available soon).
