General Info

The International Astronomical Union Hands-On Workshop in Radio Astronomy will be held from 4-15 September 2023 in Kayseri,Türkiye.

This capacity building workshop aims to provide a unique platform for students and young researchers from Central/West Asia to learn how to analyse radio data from radio telescopes such as VLA and ALMA. It will ideally open a unique opportunity to both increase the science return of the available data archives and encourage the junior to mid-career scientists in the region to learn about Radio Astronomy.

A wide range of topics, such as star and planet formation, galaxy formation and evolution, AGNs, and interstellar and intergalactic medium can be ideally studied using these radio data. One of the objectives of this Workshop is to inspire and prepare young researchers to use future radio observatories like SKA, ngVLA, etc., which will revolutionise our understanding about the Universe.

These short training and teaching programs are very effective and provide ample opportunities for collaborative research with experts. This particular Workshop also aims to highlight a number of research programs, in line with main research themes in Iran and Türkıye, and to explore new possibilities of Central/West Asia collaborations.

The workshop is initiated by the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences, IPM, in Iran, and will be held in collaboration with the Erciyes University and TAD in Türkiye.More detailed infomation about the program will be announced soon.
