SUMMARY:5th IVS Training School on VLBI for Geodesy and Astrometry
DESCRIPTION:The aim of this training school is to prepare for the next generation of VLBI\, both in terms of technical development and knowledge transfer between generations of researchers. The new VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS) is being installed worldwide and continues to develop.  VGOS promises significant improvement in the accuracy of VLBI results.  Thus\, VGOS will be of great importance for geosciences and global change research as part of the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS). \nThe successful development of VLBI technology in the future requires training and educating the young generation of scientists and their familiarization with all aspects of VLBI technology\, starting with VLBI station instrumentation receiving and converting the radio signal\, data processing and analysis and obtaining the final results\, such as Terrestrial and Celestial Reference Frames and Earth Orientation Parameters. \nThe IVS Training School is organized by the IVS Committee on Education and Training (IVS CTE)\nDetails about the school will be made available in due time on the website:\nhttps://www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/en/about-nls/organisation/cooperation-groups/ivs-committee-education-and-training/5th-ivs-training\nFor further information contact Nataliya Zubko (firstname.lastname@nls.fi) \nEvent Category: ivs

SUMMARY:GRACE Hackweek 5
DESCRIPTION:An online school on time-variable gravity from GRACE and GRACE-FO satellite missions\nSatellite gravimetry has become an indispensible tool for studying the earth system. The satellite missions CHAMP\, GRACE/GRACE-FO and GOCE along with Satellite Laser Ranging have demonstrated the utility of time-variable gravity data in understanding the mass changes and their transport within and between the hydropshere\, cryosphere\, atmosphere\, oceans and the solid earth. \nThe challenging aspects of satellite gravimetry are the recovery of time-variable gravity from observations due to the low signal- to-noise ratio\, and the use of time-variable gravity data by non- geodesists. It is our aim in this online school to give an idea of the time variable gravity field recovery process from satellite gravimetry missions\, and also to help non-geodesists to get to grips with handling time-variable gravity data from GRACE/GRACE-FO. \nThe online school is open to everyone interested in using time- variable gravity for their research. Certificates will be issued to participants who complete all the labs. We look forward to your participation and a fruitful online school. The last date of application is September 19\, 2025 (UTC). \nRegistration: https://forms.office.com/r/WzP7GdBbwk \nMore Info: GRACE Hackweek 5 – Program \n  \nOrganizing Committee: \nProf. Balaji Devaraju (IIT Kanpur\, India); Prof. Nico Sneeuw (Uni. Stuttgart\, Germany); Prof. Matthias Weigelt (Leibniz Uni. Hannover\, Germany)

SUMMARY:JIVE VLBI School (JVS 2025)
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that the JIVE VLBI School (JVS 2025) will take place during the week of 15-19 September 2025. \nThe school will be held simultaneously at the Joint Institute for VLBI ERIC (JIVE) in Dwingeloo\, the Netherlands\, and the University of Pretoria\, South Africa. The University of Pretoria will serve as a satellite hub for the school\, with limited participation. We will hold common lectures (in-person and streamed from both venues) and parallel in-person tutorial sessions. \nJVS 2025 will train participants in data processing and imaging of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations. The school will cover lectures ranging from the basics of radio interferometry in general to VLBI in particular. There will be extensive hands-on sessions to process and analyze VLBI data\, with a focus on observations from the European VLBI Network (EVN). A limited number of seats will be available at both locations. \nFurther details\, including registration information and a complete agenda\, will follow in early 2025. For now\, please mark the dates of the school on your calendar! \nContact us at jvs@jive.eu for further information and visit jive.eu/jvs2025. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the Netherlands or Pretoria in September 2025! \nEvent Category: ivs

SUMMARY:1st GGOS IberAtlantic Summer School
DESCRIPTION:Location: Yebes Observatory\, Cerro de la Palera\, s/n\, 19141 Yebes\, Guadalajara\, Spain\nOrganizers: GGOS IA\, IGN\, Yebes Observatory\, RAEGE-Az\nSponsors: IGN Spain\, RAEGE-Az\, ROA\nParteners: National Geographic Institute of Spain (IGN Spain)\, Yebes Observatory\, RAEGE-Az\, Royal Observatory of Spanish Navy (ROA)\, Directorate-General for the Territory of Portugal (DGT)\, College of Geographic Engineering of the Order of Engineers of Portugal\, University of Alicante\, University of Porto\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) is an international initiative led by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). By integrating geodetic observations from around the world\, GGOS enables the monitoring of Earth’s shape\, gravity field\, and rotation. This system is fundamental for advancing scientific research\, supporting navigation\, and enhancing disaster management capabilities (more info in https://ggos.org/) \nWithin the GGOS framework\, the GGOS IberAtlantic (GGOS IA) operates as a regional node\, concentrating on geodetic activities and infrastructure in the Iberian Peninsula and the Atlantic region. GGOS IA not only fosters collaboration among geodetic institutions but also drives scientific advancements and technological development tailored to the region’s unique geophysical characteristics (more info in ggos-iberatlantic) \nComplementing this effort is the RAEGE (Red Atlântica de Estações Geodinâmicas e Espaciais) project\, which establishes a cutting-edge network of geodetic and space observatories across the Azores\, Canary Islands\, and Iberian Peninsula. RAEGE supports geodetic and astronomical research while bolstering Europe’s global geodetic infrastructure\, directly contributing to the goals of both GGOS and GGOS IA (more info in https://raege.eu/) \nThe 1st GGOS IA Summer School offers a unique educational opportunity focused on GGOS-related topics. Over five days\, participants will engage in theoretical and practical sessions covering techniques such as VLBI\, GNSS\, SLR\, DORIS\, Gravimetry\, and Local Tie measurements. The event will showcase the RAEGE project and provide hands-on exposure to operations in fundamental geodetic stations worldwide\, including data post-processing and analysis. Additionally\, the program fosters networking not only with peers who share similar academic interests but also with experienced professionals\, providing valuable insights into real-world applications and expertise in geodetic sciences. \nMore Info: https://ggos.org/about/org/affiliates/ggos-iberatlantic/1st-ggos-ia-summer-school/ \n
