WP11.1 - Community Development
WP leader: Michel Dennefeld
This WP will organise activities transferring knowledge from experienced astronomers familiar with forefront observatories to new users (young scientists, or scientists from the new member states). These activities will include technical schools and workshops organised in leading institutes or observatories and short term exchanges of engineers or scientists.
