================================

Note: All participants MUST bring their Laptops with Linux pre-loaded (either via Ubuntu or Fedora etc)

and also pre-install PYRAF & DS9 and Python

Further for the Project no. 3 above (for Radio based techniques) -- you MUST also install CASAPY which is extremely straightforward on linux and mac from the weblink: https://casa.nrao.edu/

Organization of the School

Lectures will be given in the Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and next Monday morning (21 hours in total).

The afternoons (and the Wedneday morning) will be fully dedicated to research projects that will continue all over the week (40 h in total). The students will be distributed in groups of 4 or 5, with a tutor available to support them.

The Wednesday and Sunday afternoon will be reserved for a social activity.

The last Tuesday morning will see the presentation of the research projects by all the groups.

In the evenings, after the dinner, all the participants will be given the opportunities to give short and informal presentation of their research activities.
