LOFAR2.0 Data Processing and Management Busy Week

21 Oct 2024, 13:00 → 25 Oct 2024, 13:30 Europe/Amsterdam

Van de Hulst Auditorium (ASTRON)

Introduction 

Following constructive discussions at the successful LOFAR Family Meeting in Leiden, we invite you to a Data Processing and Management Busy Week we are organizing at ASTRON from 21 -25 October 2024. We anticipate that the topics will cover the full data lifecycle related to the various L2LP (and that will largely apply to future Open Skies projects as well), from data taking till the generation of the advanced data products through the Observatory and users' pipelines. 

The busy week covers a full week (Monday to Friday). To facilitate people's travel, we envision the busy week to start early afternoon on the Monday and conclude on Friday after lunch.  

Although in-person attendance is strongly preferred, hybrid participation will also be supported.
