High spatial resolution in Astronomy: the VLTI training school

posted Sep 7, 2009 1:44 AM by Olivier Chesneau [ updated Sep 7, 2009 3:06 AM by EII Domain Administrator ]

The next VLTI training school will be held in the Centre IGESA, Porquerolles Island, Côte d’Azur, France in 17th-28th April 2010.

Any student wishing to deepen his(her) knowledge on optical interferometry is welcome to attend the school. This year, the School is recognized as a European Erasmus Intensive Program (I.P. http://ec.europa.eu/education/erasmus/doc900_en.htm). This means that the students from the University partners of the program will recognize the school as part of their studies, and that special funding is available for them. The University partners are listed below, and their number should increase in the following years.

For the students who do not belong to any University partners, please note that the Fizeau exchange visitors
program may help in a few cases with the travelling expanses.The call for application was
recently advertised, and the deadline is the 15th of September, and there will be another call the 15th of March.

Further news will regularly be posted at the European interferometry Website (http://www.european-interferometry.eu/training/2010).

Fizeau call open

posted Sep 1, 2009 8:09 AM by EII Domain Administrator

The Fizeau exchange visitors program in optical interferometry funds
(travel and accommodation) visits of researchers to an institute of
his/her choice (within the European Community) to perform collaborative
work and training on one of the active topics of the European
Interferometry Initiative. The visits will typically last for one month,
and strengthen the network of astronomers engaged in technical,
scientific and training work on optical/infrared interferometry. The
program is open for all levels of astronomers (Ph.D. students to tenured
staff).

The deadline for applications is the 15th September for visits starting
1st of November.
