Those interested in attending should apply using the online form below. After providing the requested basic data, please log in to your personal area and provide a short paragraph about your research interest, your motivation to join the school and your CV. All information should be submitted not later than Friday, 13 June 2025. Selected candidates will be informed by late June / early July and instructions on how to proceed with the payment of the registration fee will then be sent by email.
Attendance requires a registration fee of 500€, which covers:
- Coffee break and lunch during the lecture days.
- Conference dinner.
- Visit to the Teide Observatory on 19 November.
We are also planning an optional visit to the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory in the beautiful island of La Palma, on Saturday, 22 November, with an additional cost yet to be decided pending on the total number of participants (usually around 300€). This trip will take place if it gathers the interest of a minimum amount of people (15), a requirement that has been met in all previous editions of the school. The trip includes the return flight from Tenerife to La Palma, bus transfers, lunch and a guided tour of the main telescopes.
A limited number of grants may be provided by the organization to a limited number of participants. Those applicants requiring grants may fill in the corresponding form in the personal area. The participants awarded any grants will be informed after the selection of the candidates.
