Registration instructions
The school is primarily intended for doctoral students and recent postdocs in any field of research in Astronomy. Those interested in attending the Winter School should register using the online form below. Once registered, please log in to your personal area and introduce your Curriculum Vitae and contributed poster information. In addition, we request a letter of reference from your thesis advisor (or Head of Department) by email to the Winter School Secretariat. These should reach the IAC before June 23rd. Selected candidates will be informed no later than July 15th and instructions on how to proceed with the payment of the registration fee will be sent.
Attendance requires a registration fee, which covers:
- Welcome cocktail
- Conference fee
- Welcome dinner
- Accommodation and breakfast for eleven days (arrival Sunday 6th, departure Thursday 17th, on the basis of shared rooms)
- Visit to the Teide observatory, Tenerife (including lunch)
- Morning and afternoon coffee during the lecture days
- Conference dinner
- Copy of the proceedings
- Optional visit to the Roque de los Muchachos observatory, La Palma.
The basic registration fee is 950€. It is 1150€ if you wish to go on the highly recommendable, but optional, trip to the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma. This includes your flight, transfers, lunch and a guided tour of the principal telescopes.
A limited number of grants may be provided by the organization to partially cover registration costs. Those applicants requiring partial support to attend the School may fill in the corresponding form in the personal area once registered. A non-refundable pre-registration of 150€ is required to secure your place in the School.
Hotel bookings are handled directly by the organization. Those participants wanting to share a room with a specific person should indicate it by email to winter@iac.es. Important: there is a limited number of available rooms at Hotel Nivaria, so we recommend early payment once you have been selected, in order to secure your stay at the same hotel of the lecturers. Once the available rooms at the Nivaria are completed booked, we will accommodate participants at the Aguere hotel, located within walking distance to the school venue. See the travel information section for more details.
