The Workshop “Horizons for Optical Long Baseline Interferometry” will take place from 27–29 January in Meudon, France. It builds on the ESO announcement “Expanding Horizons: Transforming Astronomy in the 2040s”, which seeks to define the next flagship facility for ESO. 

Its objective is to explore future breakthroughs enabled by very high angular resolution in the optical and infrared domains. The event also commemorates the 40th anniversary of the ESO Interferometry Working Group's formation and celebrates the visionary contributions of their VLTI Interim Report. 

The 12th IRAM millimeter interferometry school will be held in the week of November 18, 2024 at the IRAM headquarters (Grenoble, France).

The 2024 NEON Observing School will be hosted by the National Observatory of Athens, Greece, from October 13 to October 25, 2024. Mainly funded by ORP, the school will provide hands-on observing experience on professional telescopes. During this period, the students will go through, together with an experienced tutor, all the steps from planning the observations to reducing and analysing the obtained data.

The last ORP Time-Domain workshop within ORP will take place in Heraklion, Crete, and online, from 30 September to 2 October 2024. More information. 

The 10th edition of the European Radio Interferometry School will be held in Granada, Spain, from Monday, September 30th to Friday, October 4th, 2024. 

ERIS aims to provide a comprehensive overview of radio interferometry, covering fundamentals, data processing, and analysis techniques, along with practical hands-on sessions. The lectures and tutorials will cover the following topics:

• Calibration and imaging of interferometry data (continuum, spectral line, and polarization)
