IAU Hands-On Workshops - Call for Proposals for Workshops in 2026

The IAU calls for applications to organize workshops under the IAU Hands-On Workshops (I-HOW) initiative. These workshops aim at training early-career scientists from developing countries in accessing, reducing, and analysing the vast amount of data available in astronomical archives across the world, and using them for their research projects. Proposals to organise one of these workshops shall be submitted using the application form provided on the website by email to one of the members of the I-HOW Steering Committee.

The deadline for applications is December 31, 2025.

More information on the characteristics of the initiative, the procedure and selection criteria for workshops, and a link to the application form are available at: https://www.iau.org/Iau/Iau/Science/Trainings---Workshops/I-HOW-Hands-On-Workshops.aspx
