Upcoming Events
Czech ARC node activities
2nd European ALMA school in Leiden
The Allegro ARC node in collaboration with Czech ARC node and other nodes of the European ALMA Regional Centre network is organizing the second European ALMA school.
Aimed at PhD students and postdocs, the school will cover a broad range of aspects related to ALMA: interferometry, data calibration, synthesis imaging, exploiting the ALMA archive, analysis techniques, and future ALMA developments.
Registration will be on the first-come first-serve basis, with a total capacity of 70 participants.
Date : 26. - 30.01.2026
Location : Leiden Observatory, Leiden, Netherlands
Registration deadline : 31.10.2025
Registration fee: 75 EUR
See details and registration at the 2nd ALMA school website.
Upcoming radio astronomy conferences and workshops
11th IRAM 30-metre school The school will combine lectures on millimeter astronomy with observations using the 30-meter telescope. Lectures will be given by experienced scientists and 30-meter observers, covering a wide range of topics, from comets and planetary atmospheres in he solar system to the study of the chemistry of interstellar clouds, low and high mass star formation, in the Milky Way, in nearby galaxies, and in ultra-luminous objects at high-redshifts. These lectures will be complemented by lectures on instrumentation, observing techniques, and data processing. Moreover, there will be unique hands-on exprience with IRAM 30m telescope observations covering the whole process from preparing a science case, conducting the observations, reducing the data, and presenting the first results on the last day of the school.
Date : 31.10 - 07.11.2025
Location : Hotel Turia, Granada, Spain
Registration deadline : 15th August 2025!

Improving Image Fidelity on Astronomical Data: Radio Interferometer and Single-Dish Data Combination
Many areas in astronomy require the combination of millimetre/radio interferometric and single-dish observations to recover scientific physical information over a large range of spatial scales. However, the combination process poses a number of severe technical challenges. In this workshop, we aim to understand, compare, and test the various methods of data combination. Official webpage...
