ESA is pleased to announce a Venus Express VIRTIS and VMC Data Workshop that will be held at ESAC (Madrid, Spain) on 12-15 May 2014.

The goal of the workshop is to introduce users to the data returned by the VIRTIS and VMC instruments of the Venus Express orbiter, available from ESA’s Planetary Science Archive.

Scientific and technical lectures will be provided, as well as hands-on data processing exercises, with members of the VIRTIS and VMC instrument teams providing direct support on the best ways in which to calibrate and use their data for science. The detailed content of the course is still under development, and may be changed in light of the interests of the participants.

Please register if you are interested.

Limited funding is available to help cover the travel and/or subsistence costs of the participants attending the workshop.

Should you be interested in applying for this support, please provide a short justification for your request using the registration form.

Registration deadline: 31 March 2014
