post-docs and young faculty members showing proven interest to moving
into radio astronomy, with emphasis on CME and type II solar radio bursts,
will also be welcome.
Selection of Participants
COSPAR attaches considerable importance to the selection of students on
the basis of merit, so no distribution according to countries of origin
can be guaranteed. However, the importance of meeting the needs of the
host country are understood, and a certain level of preference for
students from the host country is assumed. As a rule of thumb, at least
50% of the participants should come from countries in the region other
than the host country.
“Merit” includes:
- scientific background,
- ability and potential,
- likelihood of benefiting in research career from attending the workshop
- relationship to relevant home country scientific policies.
Applicants will be required to provide a CV, a description of their
research to date, an explanation on how they would use the workshop to
further their research, and a supporting recommendation from their
supervisor or head of department.
The selection will be made by a panel designated by Dr. Abraha, Dr.
Teklu, Prof. Gopalswamy and Prof. Mendez
