Europlanet 2024-RI and the Molėtai Astronomical Observatory (ITPA VU) are pleased to announce the international research summer school „Space missions: ground-based observations and science communication“ (hybrid school, August 8 - 18, 2023). The aim of the course is to give participants a thorough, multidisciplinary introduction into space missions and the ground-based observations required by space missions before and after launch, as well as an introduction to science communication. More general subjects about specific space missions (TESS, JWST, PLATO…), planetary systems, habitability of planets, photometric and spectroscopic techniques will be presented. Participants will be given some hands-on experience with analysis of stellar chemical composition, detection of stellar variability and/or exoplanets using the Molėtai Astronomical Observatory telescopes (CCD photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy). In addition, the course will give participants the opportunity to develop comprehensive theoretical and practical skills in science communication and engaging with a range of lay audiences, including the public, media, policy makers, schools and educators. The course is open to PhD and master students, early career scientists, and amateur astronomers.
The school is organised by the European Commission HORIZON 2020 project EUROPLANET 2024 Research Infrastructure. Europlanet 2024 Research Infrastructure has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 871149.

Dear colleagues,
We are very pleased to announce the second call of the IAC Early Career Visitor Program. With this program, we aim to foster the development of early-career researchers through the vibrant scientific atmosphere at the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias.
The IAC Early Career Visitor Program will fully fund 1-3 months visits to the IAC for scientists with up to four years of postdoctoral experience.
The call for visits during the second half of 2023 is now open until May 1st, 2023.
For more information about the program and instructions on how to apply, please visit the following link:
