Training

In order to assist astronomers in taking, analyzing, and interpreting multi-wavelength/multi-messenger observations and coordinating efforts to observe the transient sky, it is essential to provide training in the different domains through conferences, workshops, schools and hackathons, and through providing dedicated training material.

There will be a strong synergy with the other actions to reinforce the access to different facilities such as the supprot provided by the Centres of Expertise, help in the acquisition of scientific expertise, improve collaboration for accessing data, and facilitate coordination activities in observing transient events.

In addition, there are regular calls to support the organization of training events, both in-person and virtual.
