The main programme consists of a yearly NEON Observing school that gives hands-on observing experience to young astronomers at a professional telescope. The programme also includes other schools concentrating on different aspects of observational astronomy and life-long learning. In addition, the ORP workpackage WP5 JA4 Training organises schools at radio and sub-millimetre wavebands and also in different techniques, for example, in adaptive optics and interferometry. You can find more information on the activities on the main ORP Training pages.
Our next school will be the 2025 NEON Observing school that will take place in Calar Alto Observatory in Spain in February. You can find more information on the school from the 2025 NEON Observing School pages. The deadline for applying to this school was in late October.
In February-March 2025 we will also organise a virtual proposal writing school. Deadline for applying to this school is on 13 December. You can find more information on the school from the 2025 ORP Proposal Writing School pages.
