First Announcement
December 2024
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce that the JIVE VLBI School (JVS 2025) is set to take place during the week of 15-19 September 2025.
The school will be held simultaneously at the Joint Institute for VLBI ERIC (JIVE) in Dwingeloo (the Netherlands), and the University of Pretoria (South Africa), with the latter serving as an auxiliary venue with limited participation. We will hold common lectures (in-person and streamed from both venues) and parallel in-person tutorial sessions. Online participation with access to streamed lectures, tutorial materials and chat platform to interact with the lecturers will be possible. However, the guided tutorials will be in-person only.
JVS 2025 will train the participants in data processing and imaging of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations. The school will cover lectures ranging from the basics in radio interferometry in general to VLBI in particular. There will be extensive hands-on sessions to process and analyse data obtained from the European VLBI Network (EVN). There will be a limited number of seats available at both locations.
Further details, including registration information and a complete agenda, will follow in early 2025. For now, please mark the dates of the school in your calendar!
Contact us at jvs@jive.eu for further information.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Netherlands or Pretoria in September 2025!
